Fluorescence of Carbonyl Compounds in the Gas Phase

摘要

The fluorescences of biacetyl, acetone, ethyl methyl ketone, and acetaldehyde have been photographed. The main portions, at least, seem to be identical. A like similarity in the fluorescences of diethyl ketone and propionaldehyde suggests that diketones formed during the photolyses of these carbonyl compounds are the fluorescing substances.
