Signature Discovery in Organic Compounds


EMSL Project ID
49013

Abstract

This project will survey physical and chemical characteristics of organic compounds of interest in chemical forensics applications.The goal is to develop chemical attribution signatures (CAS’s) for source attribution and sample matching. Chemical forensics is a discipline whose central goal is attribution or matching of a chemical compound to its source, origin, or to other samples. Using NMR spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and other techniques, we are identifying and characterizing novel physical and chemical attribution signatures.
