Abstract :
We review three photofragmentation detection approaches, describing the detection of (1) vapor-phase mercuric chloride by photofragment emission, (2) vapor-phase nitro-containing compounds by photofragmentation-ionization, and (3) surface-bound organophosphonate compounds by photofragmentation-laser-induced fluorescence.
