Synopsis

This volume is concerned with the application of fluorescence, phosphorescence and chemiluminescence spectra to the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds. It deals with the use of these spectra to extract information about the structure and function of biological macromolecules. Several of the topics, including excited state optical activity and bioinorganic luminescence spectroscopy, are presented here in an analytical format.

About this title

From the Publisher

A three-volume work concerned with applying fluorescence, phosphorescence and chemiluminescence spectroscopic subjects to analyze organic and inorganic compounds. Chapters are written by investigators active in their areas of expertise. Covers many new developments including improvements to existing methods. Coverage of such topics as excited state optical activity, bioinorganic luminescence spectroscopy, fluorescence and phosphorescence of pharmaceuticals and natural products, fluorescence detection in chromatography, luminescence immunoassay, photochemically generated fluorophores and luminescence from organized supramolecular assemblies is the most up-to-date available.

From the Inside Flap

Over the past three decades, luminescence spectroscopy has transcended its origins as a curiosity in the physical laboratory to become a widely used and respected staple of the analytical chemist?s instrumentation arsenal. Fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and phosphorescence spectroscopies are now routinely applied to such real analytical problems as the quantitaion, qualitative identification, and structural characterization of organic and inorganic compounds and even of cellular structures. And the list of recent advances in analytical applications of luminescence spectroscopy keeps growing. The earlier volumes of Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy provided professional chemists with a detailed, exhaustive, and up-to-date look at the applications of fluorescence, phosphorescence, and chemiluminescence spectra to the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds. Presenting topics never available in any analytical text, such as excited state optical activity and bioinorganic luminescence spectroscopy, the volumes represented a significant advance in the chemical literature. Part 3 continues the book?s always current and practical examination of the field?s newest innovative turns. In a clear, systematic format, Part 3 discusses such widespread or ascendant laboratory techniques as:

• photochemically generated fluorophores
• fluorescent probes
• luminescence from bile salt aggregates
• hole-burning spectroscopy
• laser-excited microspectro-fluorometry
• near-infrared luminescence spectroscopy

Other topics such as the fluorescence and phosphorescence of pharmaceuticals and natural products have never been reviewed as exhaustively before. The chapters on fluorescence detection in chromatography and luminescence immunoassay are the most up-to-date treatments available on these subjects. Invaluable to analytical chemists, instructors, and students, Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy, Part 3 offers expert guidance on the practical specifics of this multi-faceted technique as well as its farreaching analytical possibilities.
