“…This review reports the developments in ultraviolet and light absorption spectrometry from January 1994 through December 1995, primarily as documented in the Ultraviolet & Visible Spectroscopy section of CA Selects, and extends the series of reviews on these topics sponsored by Analytical Chemistry starting with Light Absorption Spectrometry in 1945 (1-3), followed by Ultraviolet Absorption Spectrometry in 1949 (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) and combined Ultraviolet and Light Absorption Spectrometry in 1978 (10,11). As in the previous reviews, the subject matter is divided into sections on chemistry, physics, and applications.…”
