Chemical signatures correlated with nuclear processing may provide insight into sample provenance. Temporal changes in chemical speciation as a function of controlled temperature and relative humidity may yield additional information indicative of storage history. This information would be useful for characterization of unknown samples and potential development of chemical standards. Here, we present studies to investigate measurable signatures for forensic analyses using tools commonly employed to measure chemical structure. LA-UR-15-27536
