Abstract

Evidence is given showing that UV resonance Raman spectroscopy (UVRRS) is a powerful technique for the identification and quantitation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) in a coal liquid. Results suggest that this technique will be of general utility for the study of systems containing chromaphoric species absorbing in the UV spectral region. In this paper it is demonstrated that (1) the resonance Raman spectra of PAH derivatives can be selectively observed in solutions of coal liquids and (2) different UV excitation wavelengths result in the selective Raman enhancement of different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ring systems.
