A sensitive and specific method for the determination of trans,trans-muconic acid (t,t-MA) in urine is described. After clean-up on an anion-exchange cartridge, t,t-MA was derivatized with BF3-methanol to the dimethyl ester and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), with 2-bromohexanoic

The complexation of Cm(III) with 6-(5,6-dipentyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (C(5)-hemi-BTP) in a water-2-propanol solution is investigated by TRLFS. Upon increasing the concentration of C(5)-hemi-BTP in the Cm(III)-solution, three different species, the 1:1-, 1:2- and 1:3-complex, with emission bands at 599.9 nm, 607.3 nm
