Monofluorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: characteristics and intended use in environmental analysis

First studies of a series of eight monofluorinated polycyclic aromatic hydr ocarbons indicate that they are a promising set of internal standards and m arkers in the trace-level environmental analysis of their parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The selected examples deal with solid-phase extract ion, LC separation, Shpolskii spectroscopy and metabolic study.
