What are Common Sources of Fluorescence Interference?
Several factors can contribute to fluorescence interference in catalytic studies: - Catalyst: Some catalysts, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and certain metal complexes, inherently fluoresce. - Reactants and Products: Organic molecules, especially aromatic compounds, often exhibit strong fluorescence. - Solvents: Solvents like toluene and acetonitrile can introduce background fluorescence. - Impurities: Trace impurities in reagents or solvents can fluoresce and interfere with measurements.
