10 QUANTITATIVE UV ABSORBANCE SPECTRA OF CHEMICAL AGENTS AND SIMULANTS 1. INTRODUCTION The quantitative ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectra of selected chemical agents and simulants have been measured for wavelengths in the near UV from 200 to 400 rnm. Although these data are of interest in their own right, they are also necessary for predicting the sensitivity of UV Raman based detection systems. The absorption values at and 262 nm are of particular interest as these correspond to excitation wavelengths used by UV Raman based surface contamination detectors currently under development. These wavelengths are produced by KrF excimer lasers and quadrupled Nd: YLF lasers, respectively. 2. BACKGROUND To calculate the Raman scattering intensity of a given chemical, it is necessary to know how much of the incident and scattered radiation are absorbed by the sample. For transparent samples, the absorbance is negligible and no correction is required. Many organic chemicals, however, have absorbance bands below 300 nm, and this absorbance must be taken into account when calculating Raman scattering cross sections. The amount of radiation absorbed by a molecule is described by the Beer-Lambert Law shown in its various forms in eqs 1 through 3. I=10 xl 0-1 (1) where Transmittance T= I e1d0 (2) 10 Absorbance A = -logt = Ecl (3) 0 = intensity of the incident radiation I = intensity of the transmitted radiation c = molar concentration of solute (M) 1= path length of the cell (cm), and E = molar extinction coefficient or molar absorptivity (L x mole - ' x cm-'). Experimentally, absorbance is measured as a function of wavelength for either neat chemicals or solutions of known concentration. When the UV spectrum of a sample is measured in solution, the absorbance of the dilutant chemical must also be taken into account. The UV spectrum of the pure dilutant is obtained and subtracted from that of the solution. This correction is often automatically performed in the spectrometer software during data collection. 7

11 When diluting a chemical, a solvent with a low UV cutoff wavelength is chosen. The UV cutoff wavelength is the wavelength at which the absorbance is unity when measured against air in a 1-cm matching cell. Acetonitrile and water have UV cutoff wavelengths of 190 nm, which makes them suitable for UV absorption measurements above 190 nm. The path length 1 is determined by the width of the cuvette containing the sample. The molar absorptivity is then calculated at a specific wavelength using eq EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Absorbance data was collected for 29 chemical agents and simulants including the G agents, VX, and HD. The list of samples, along with information on their sources, is tabulated in Appendix A. Solutions were prepared using standard chemistry techniques and methodology. Surety samples were handled in accordance with appropriate standing operating procedures. The concentrations were chosen so that the resulting absorbances at 248 and 262 nm were between approximately 0.5 and 2. Absorbances of greater than roughly 3 (a transmission of 0.1%) could not be measured because of low signal to noise. Conversely, concentrations that yielded low absorbances were imprecise because the small errors in blank (dilutant + cell) subtraction could dominate the measured absorbance. In the cases where multiple spectra are shown for the UV absorbance in Appendix B, the higher concentration was used to calculate molar absorptivities in Table 1 and Appendix C. Except for methylphosphonic acid (MPA), all samples were used either neat or diluted with acetonitrile. The MPA, a solid, was dissolved in distilled and deionized water. The solutions were placed in rectangular Spectrosil Quartz fluorometer cells (Starna Cells, Inc). One centimeter pathlength cells were used except for GB where measurements were made in a 0.1 cm pathlength cell. The cells were filled at least 2/3 full. Data was collected using a Varian Cary 50 UV-VIS spectrometer using a xenon flash lamp light source. A beam splitter is incorporated to allow simultaneous reference beam correction. Several variables could be adjusted within the software. All data collection occurred at a scan rate of 300 nm/min over the wavelength range of nm with a measurement interval size of 0.5 nm. Spectra of dilutant chemicals were obtained at the start of each day prior to data collection (see examples in Appendix B). The appropriate spectrum was automatically subtracted from that of the solution during data collection. 4. RESULTS For each sample, absorbance data between 200 and 400 nm were recorded as a function of wavelength and used to calculate molar absorptivity values, as described above. These values, as a function of wavelength, appear in Appendixes B (spectra) and C (data tables). 8

12 As mentioned above, the molar absorptivity values at and 262 nm are of special interest due to their importance in calculating UV Raman scattering cross-sections for UV Raman based surface detectors in development. These values are listed in Table 1. Table 1.

13 As can be seen, the absorptivity of the samples varied widely. For the nerve agents, VX is much more highly absorbing at 248 nm than any of the G agents, which are relatively weak absorbers in the near UV. The molar absorptivity of the mustard agent and lewisite are also more than an order of magnitude larger than the G agents. In Tables 2 and 3, we compare our results to those published in the open literature by Rewick et al.* Our data has been converted to units of square centimeters/molecule to conform to the data in the reference.* The conversion from molar absorptivity in L*mole - '*cm - 1 to cross section is accomplished by multiplying by 1000/N 0, where No is Avagadro's number. Except for GA, the values agree reasonably well. Our results for GA are in line with the other G agents, while the Rewick's absorption cross section is two orders of magnitude larger than any of the other G agents. The reason for this discrepancy is unknown, but may be attributable to a highly absorbing impurity or degradation product in Rewick's sample. Table 2.
