Deconvolution of absorbing species in a data matrix. a Spectra of excited and ground states of ribothymidine anion radicals, rT•‒* and rT•‒, respectively. The inset shows the kinetics of rT•‒* at different concentrations. b Deconvolution of transient data using a multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) method representing the kinetics of rT•‒*, rT•‒, and the solvated electron (esol¯)
