Application of 2D-correlation spectroscopy method for interpretation of spectra and enhancing the spectral resolution Maksimova Ekaterina Andreyevna The basic appraoch of 2-D correlation spectroscopy was initially introduced by Dr. I. Noda [1]. At the beginning correlation analysis was applied only to macromolecular systems being under influence of the simple sinusoidal perturbation signal . At 1993 Noda has proposed generalized method for obtaining the 2-D correlation spectra for the case of any type of external perturbation. Because of the necessity of the Fourier-transformation of dinamic spectra, the mathematical theory for the generalized method was somewhat more complicated than for the initial one. Recently, the new modification of the generalized method using discrete Hylbert transformation was proposed [2]. This approach simplifies calculations significantely. In this work we tried to introduce additional continuous approximation of the crosssections of spectral surface for the cases of fixed frequency and of fixed initial parameter to the generalized method. This approach gives us opportunity to trace the number of spectral peaks at certain external parameter value and, hence, to check their appearance or disappearance in combination with the analysis of 2-D correlation spectra. The peak searching method used in this work permits us to detect accurately and quikly the changes in spectra with the time. This approach permits to determine more accurately the moment of separation of strongly overlapped bands. References 1. I. Noda, Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 31 (1986) 520 – 524. 2. I. Noda, Y. Ozaki.
