Abstract
Recently the Py solvent scale has been introduced and a large body of data has been generated using fluorescence measurements. Numerous problems exist in the correct determination of these values, including instrumental and chemical artifacts. Among the instrumental problems associated with correct Py assignments are slit width effects, inner filtering and efficiencies associated with double-pass vs. single-pass cell compartment designs. These instrumental problems, together with chemical artifacts related to adequate blank correction and temperature control, were investigated in the work reported in this paper.Keywords
