Abstract: | In recent years, total synchronous fluorescence (TSF) spectroscopy has become popular for the analysis of multifluorophoric systems. Application of PARAFAC, a popular deconvolution tool, requires trilinear structure in the three-way data array. The present work shows that TSF based three-way array data set of dimension sample × wavelength × Δλ does not have trilinear structure and hence it should not be subjected to PARAFAC analysis. This work also proposes that a TSF data set can be converted to an excitation–emission matrix fluorescence (EEMF) like data set which has trilinear structure, so that PARAFAC analysis can be performed on it. This also enables the retrieval of PARAFAC-separated component TSF spectra. |
