Compact, transportable, and multipurpose high-pressure unit for UV–VIS spectroscopic measurements at pressures up to 200 MPa

Abstract

The construction of a compact, transportable, and multipurpose high‐pressure unit consisting of a pressure generating system and a four‐window optical UV–VIS high‐pressure cell for spectroscopic measurements at pressures up to 200 MPa is described. The pressure generating system can be operated with a wide range of liquids suitable as pressurizing medium. The optical cell can be used for spectroscopic and kinetic (flash photolysis and laser induced T‐jump) measurements.
