Detection of contamination from salicylic acid via either single excitation fluorometer or via absorbance
My colleague detected fluorescent contamination likely from salicylic acid in some water samples. I have made a new batch and want to check whether my new samples also have this contamination.
1. Can ...

Why is there a mirror image effect in the absorbance and fluorescence spectra?
I've read some answers online but I still can't seem to understand the mirror image effect. Why is the highest energy absorption (v" = 0 to v' = 4) the lowest energy fluorescence (v' = 4 to v&...

Why do some molecules show non-symmetric absorption and emission bands?
I'm looking at a molecule of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ in water and the absorption and emission bands are not symmetrical. I want to know why the mirror image rule doesn't apply here. Is this because of the MLCT, ...

What is the relationship between emission and fluorescence?
A molecule exposed to a photon with some energy is put into an excited state, and emits a photon of some energy when it returns to ground state.
The photon that provided the energy for excitation ...
