Indirect optical analysis of a dynamic chemical system.
Hide and seek: The composition of a dynamic covalent equilibrium reaction is determined by measuring the 'left-over' concentration of a reference compound (blue object, see picture). Reaction of the reference compound with a scavenger generates a characteristic UV/Vis signal that is independent of the molecular structure of the target.
