Abstract

A method for the determination of the individual components in a quaternary system of anthracene derivatives is presented. The method employs phase-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (PRFS) In conjunction with wavelength selection for the simultaneous determination of anthracene, 1-chloroanthracene, 2-chloroanthracene, and 9-chloroanthracene in mixtures containing these four species. The dèsign and lise of a least-squares routine for the calculation of the amplitude and phase ϕ of the cosine curve that describes the phase-resolved fluorescence Intensity (PRFI) as a function of detector phase angle (ϕD) for each of the Individual components are discussed. The fitting of PRFI vs. ϕD for mixtures is carried out by using a fifth-order polynomial routine. The results of the least-squares and fifth-order polynomial analyses are combined to generate a series of simultaneous equations which are “solved” for the analytical concentrations of the four components in each mixture by using a Gausslan-Newton iterative procedure written in Apple BASIC.
