T1 - Determination of perfluordecalin in consume care products by use of GF-HR-CS-MAS N2 - The introduction of HR-CS-MAS instrumentation, as it is shown in Fig. 1, provides a new way for the determination of non-metals including fluorine via molecular absorption. We present a sensitive and fluorine-specific method for total fluorine determination in fifteen consume care products in which perfluordecalin were declared (nail polishes, eye shadows and body creams). After pyrohydrolytic digestion of samples, fluorine content was determined by GF-HR-CS-MAS. Calcium was used as a molecule forming element and the molecular absorption of calcium monofluoride (CaF) at the wavelength 606.440 nm was used for its quantification. No matrix effect was observed. Analytical signal depends only on the fluorine concentration and therefore pure sodium fluoride NaF was used as calibration standard. The use of zirconium oxide nanoparticles as permanent modifier improves the limit of detection (from 0.2 to 0.1 ng) and characteristic mass (from 0.10 to 0.05 ng) from a previous reported method. These results were also compared with ISE method (standard DIN 51-084) and no significant difference was found T2 - Bremen Flourine Days CY - Bremerhafen, Germany DA - 03.07.2016 KW - Perfluordecalin KW - Consume care products KW - High resolution continuum source absorption spectrometry PY - 2016 AN - OPUS4-37481 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Abad Andrade, Carlos Enrique T1 - Tanz der Moleküle: Herkunftsbestimmung mittels optischer Spektroskopie N2 - Wie lässt sich die Herkunft von Rohstoffen, Lebensmitteln oder Umweltschadstoffen einfacher, schneller und kostengünstiger als mit bisherigen Methoden bestimmen?

At the summer university of the School of Analytical Sciences Adlershof (SALSA-HU), a series of 5 articles were presented to ilustrate the potential of ultrafast spectroscopy, from IR band assignment to monitoring time resolved structural changes. First, by studying light absorption is possible to do assignment and interpretation of IR bands in small molecules and to study the influence of ligands or labeled molecules in protein structures. Second, by studying light scattering is possible to monitoring photoinduced structural changes in solid materials. This presentation contains a study of photoinduced structural changes monitored by light scattering in condensed matter.

T1 - A critical evaluation of the chlorine quantification method based on molecular emission detection in LIBS N2 - The entire process involving the determination of Cl by molecular emission detection in Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is thoroughly studied in this paper. This critical evaluation considers how spectra are normalized, how interferences from other molecular species signals are removed, and how signal integration is applied. Moreover, a data treatment protocol is proposed to achieve reliable and accurate Cl determination from the CaCl molecular spectral signal, not requiring the use of more complex numerical approaches. Calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2⋅2H2O) and high purity anhydrite samples (CaSO4) are used to optimize the acquisition conditions and data treatment of CaCl emission signal. Using the developed protocol, calibration curves for Cl, covering the concentration range from 0 μg/g to 60,000 μg/g of Cl, are successfully achieved. Finally, the suitability of the proposed methodology for Cl determination is successfully applied in industrial gypsum waste samples, where the results obtained by LIBS are validated using high-resolution molecular absorption spectroscopy (HR-CS-MAS) and potentiometric titration.

The bright fluorescence of the conjugates and the possibility to tailor their mobility gives a huge potential for diagnostic assays. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as label, proved the integrity, stability, and dispersibility of the antibody conjugates, LC-MS/MS provided evidence that a covalent link was established between these metal-organic frameworks and lysine residues in IgG antibodies.

VO was selected as a target molecule because it is relatively stable and was expected to be spontaneously generated in a flame or a graphite furnace (GF). The high-resolution overview spectra of the molecule were obtained in a wide range of 480–630 nm, and absorption due to the X4Σ−–C4Σ− electronic transition was registered. A unique instrumental setup, comprising a prototype Modular Simultaneous Echelle Spectrograph (MOSES) and a commercial HR-CS MAS apparatus, was applied in the research. Finally, the spectral area centered at 550.6230 nm was selected for analysis. A method was developed to determine V in solutions of catalysts of heavy petroleum oil hydroprocessing using a commercial HR-CS spectrometer in a flame version. Although sensitivity was relatively poor (characteristic concentration 380 mg L−1), an extremely low noise enabled reaching a satisfactory detection limit (20 mg L−1 in solution, i.e. 0.1% m:m in the catalyst). For the first time vanadium was determined using ordinary air-acetylene flame. The obtained results were consistent with the results of atomic absorption spectrometry with N2O-C2H2 flame. Unfortunately, only a small population of VO molecules could have been generated in GF measurements. Furthermore, the observed VO molecules appeared only at unfavorably high temperatures. The work shows the potential of HR-CS MAS as a scientific tool for investigating the mechanism of processes occurring in the GF. This work can inspire other research of new analytes for HR-CS MAS.

Die Antwort der Dissertation auf diese zentrale Frage der analytischen Chemie lautet: die Anwendung der hochauflösenden optischen Spektroskopie der diatomischen Moleküle. In der Arbeit wird in einem ersten Schritt in Grafitöfen, die wie Chemiereaktoren funktionieren, und durch die Anwendung verschiedener analytischer Methoden die diatomische Molekülbildung nachvollzogen. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die aufgedeckten Mechanismen auf die Bestimmung von Nichtmetallen und die Analyse von Isotopen angewendet. Die Isotopenanalytik ist das zukunftsweisendes Herzstück der Dissertation und von alltäglicher und politischer Relevanz: Mittels dieser Technik lässt sich die Herkunft von Lebensmitteln aber auch Chemiewaffen kostengünstiger und wesentlich schneller bestimmen als mit bisherigen Methoden der Massenspektrometrie. Möglich ist die Bestimmung, da alles um uns herum aus Atomen verschiedener Elemente besteht und die meisten Elemente mehrere Isotope haben. Isotope unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich ihres Gewichts, da sie über eine unterschiedliche Anzahl an Neutronen verfügen. Die Informationen über das Verhältnis von schweren und leichten Isotopen lässt sich nutzen, um zu bestimmen wo etwas entstanden ist. Jeder Ort auf unserem Planeten hat seinen persönlichen Element- und Isotopenanteil (Isotopenfingerabdruck). Das in der Arbeit angewandte Instrument misst das Verhältnis indirekt und nutzt hierzu die Interaktion zwischen Licht und Materie. Für das schwerere Isotop wird mehr Licht/Energie benötigt, um es in Bewegung zu bringen, als für das leichtere. Diese kleinen Unterschiede an Energie, die wir dafür aufwenden müssen, werden gemessen und ermöglichen die Herkunftsbestimmung. Damit leistet die Arbeit nicht nur einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung in der analytischen Chemie, sondern kann mit den aufgezeigten Ergebnissen auch Anwendung in den Bereichen Verbraucherschutz, Umweltforschung und Waffenkontrolle finden. N2 - The present work covers two main aspects of high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-CS-GFMAS), an analytical technique for elemental trace analysis. First, a comprehensive mechanistic study of molecule formation in graphite furnaces is presented, which is a key step into the recovery of analytical signals. For this, the molecule formation of CaF was studied, which is used for the indirect analytical determination of fluorine in HR-CS-GFMAS. A zirconium coating catalyzes the CaF formation, and its structure was investigated. The kinetics of this reaction was established by monitoring its molecular spectrum at different atomisation temperatures. An Arrhenius plot showed a pseudo-first order reaction with respect to fluorine (n = 1). An intermediate state was isolated, and its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods: scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES and EXAFS), and Raman microspectroscopy. Here a mechanism is proposed, where ZrO2 works as a heterogeneous catalyst: after a pyrolytic step, an intermediate state of ZrO(OCaF) is activated, and at higher temperatures, CaF(g) is released from the zirconium-coated graphite surface. Second, analytical methods were developed by using HR-CS-MAS as detector for non-metals and isotope analysis. Therefore, the determination of organic absorbable chlorine in water, the quantification of fluorine in consume care products with declared perfluorinated ingredients, and the determination of sulfur content in crude oils were investigated. Finally, the high resolution of the instrumentation allows to measure isotopic shifts with high precision in some observed molecular spectra. Consequently, the molecular spectra of enriched isotopes of boron and magnesium were investigated, establishing so the potential of HR-CS-MAS for the accurate and precise determination of isotopic amount ratios.
