Abstract

Studies of fluorescent molecules in supercritical fluids have done much to improve our understanding of solute-fluid, as well as solute-solute, interactions. However, most of the current high-pressure optical cells used in this field are cumbersome to work with and difficult or tedious to clean. Our group previously reported on a fiber-optic interface based on a bifurcated fiber probe which allowed spectroscopic measurements in supercritical solvents.
