Future Prospects
Signals are proportional to irradiance, F0/2pa2, thus smaller diameter tubes produce equal signals
Smaller diameters decrease
- sample size requirements
- the characteristic time constant
The later allows pulsed sources
Signals are not susceptible to transient “population lens” and volume change effects
In combination with conventional lens techniques, the cylindrical cell should help unravel volume change and enthalpy contributions to photochemical reactions in non-aqueous solvents
