This research is in the general area of analytical and surface                  chemistry and in the subfield of spectroscopy. This research                    involves an examination of fluorescence detection of laser                      photofragmentation products as an analytical measurement tool.                  Such an approach should be useful for molecules which are                       normally not fluorescent. Specific areas of study include 1)                    fragmentation fluorescence spectrometry (FFS) of volatile metal                 chelates, 2) pulsed supersonic expansion for high analytical                    selectivity in laser photolysis-FFS (LP-FFS) via                                photofragmentation, 3) evaluation of the "remote sensing"                       capabilities of LP-FFS, 4) LP-FFS of relatively large                           nonvolatile molecules, 5) the utility of matrix isolation for                   increased sensitivity in LP-FFS measurements, and 6) FFS as a                   gas chromatographic detector.                                                                                                                                   This research examines the utility of analytical measurements                   using laser fragmentation of non-fluorescent molecules followed                 by fluorescence detection of the fragments. Such an approach                    allows the fluorescence detection of molecules which are                        normally not fluorescent.
