Abstract Resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) combined with supersonic expansion and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) has been a standard tool for laser spectroscopy of gas-phase molecules. It offers mass-resolved high-resolution UV spectra containing information of the vibronic states of the molecules in the absence of inhomogeneous broadening. It further renders conformation-specific UV or IR spectra when a second UV or IR laser is introduced and double-resonance spectroscopy is performed. In this study we aim to resolve REMPI spectra of mixed conformers by 2D correlation spectroscopy. A series of REMPI spectra are taken with a single UV laser varying an experimental parameter, and analyzed by a multivariate curve resolution (MCR) method. MCR is a novel theoretical approach to resolve the spectrum of mixed components into a pure spectrum of each component. REMPI spectra of 3-aminophenol, a simple molecule with only two conformers, were taken with varying experimental parameters like pulse valve-laser delay and laser power, and analyzed by MCR method as a proof-of-concept.
