The use of Raman spectroscopy can be this hindered by the presence of fluorescing impurities. In this study, Raman spectra were recorded for various titanium alkoxides (ethoxide, isopropoxide, isobutoxide) as a function of concentration and laser excitation wavelength. Fluorescence can be avoided by using uv-excitation (363. 8 nm). In addition, titanium alkoxides exhibit a preresonance Raman enhancement as the excitation wavelength approaches the UV. This result is confirmed by a uv-visible absorption spectrum of the isopropoxide.
