Abstract
It is shown that, although 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) itself undergoes photodegradation under resonance Raman conditions, its adduct formed in aqueous sodium sulphite is stable to this treatment. Enhancement of the (polarised) 1304 cm–1 band of the adduct is optimal with 457.9 nm (21 839 cm–1) excitation and forms the basis of a sensitive method for the detection and identification of TNT at ca. 10–6 M in aqueous solution.Keywords
