A gas chromatograph for quantification of peroxycarboxylic nitric anhydrides calibrated by thermal dissociation cavity ring-down spectroscopy

The peroxycarboxylic nitric anhydrides (PANs, molecular formula: RC(O)O<sub>2</sub>NO<sub>2</sub>) can readily be observed by gas chromatography (PAN-GC) coupled to electron capture detection. Calibration of a PAN-GC remains a challenge, because the response factors differ fo...
