UV-VIS Molecular Spectroscopy
  • Chapter 13-14
  • From 190 to 900 nm!

Absorption Variables
5
Beers law and mixtures
  • Each analyte present in the solution absorbs
    light!
  • The magnitude of the absorption depends on its e
  • A total A1A2An
  • A total e1bc1e2bc2enbcn
  • If e1 e2 en then simultaneous determination
    is impossible
  • Need nls where es are different to solve the
    mixture

6
Assumptions
Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis
7
Deviations from Beers Law
Successful at low analyte concentrations
(0.01M)! High concentrations of other species may
also affect
8
Chemical Equilibria
Consider the equilibrium
If e is different for A and AC then the
absorbance depends on the equilibrium. A and
AC depend on Atotal. ? A plot of absorbance
vs. Atotal will not be linear.

different kinetic energies

Ee is the electrical energy absorbed by the
molecule. ED2 is the fixed quantized energy of
D2, ED and ED are kinetic energy of the two
deuterium atoms.

  • Double Beam Instruments
  • Compensate for all but the most short term
    fluctuation in
  • radiant output of the source
  • Compensate drift in transducer and amplifier
  • Compensate for wide variations in source
    intensity with
  • wavelength

21
Multi-channel Design
22
Molar absorptivities
  • e 8.7 x 10 19 P A
  • A cross section of molecule in cm2 (10-15)
  • P Probability of the electronic transition (0-1)
  • Pgt0.1-1 ? allowable transitions
  • Plt0.01 ? forbidden transitions

Molecular Absorption
  • M hn ? M (absorption 10-8 sec)
  • M ? M heat (relaxation process)
  • M ? ABC (photochemical decomposition)
  • M ? M hn (emission)

23
Visible Absorption Spectra
24
  • The absorption of UV-visible radiation generally
    results from excitation of bonding electrons.
  • can be used for quantitative and qualitative
    analysis

25
  • Molecular orbital is the nonlocalized fields
    between atoms that are occupied by bonding
    electrons. (when two atom orbitals combine,
    either a low-energy bonding molecular orbital or
    a high energy antibonding molecular orbital
    results.)
  • Sigma (?) orbital
  • The molecular orbital associated with single
    bonds in organic compounds
  • Pi (?) orbital
  • The molecular orbital associated with parallel
    overlap of atomic P orbital.
  • n electrons
  • No bonding electrons

26
Molecular Transitions for UV-Visible Absorptions
  • What electrons can we use for these transitions?

28
Singlet vs. triplet
  • In these diagrams, one electron has been excited
    (promoted) from the n to ? energy levels
    (non-bonding to anti-bonding).
  • One is a Singlet excited state, the other is a
    Triplet.

29
Type of Transitions
  • s ? s
  • High energy required, vacuum UV range
  • CH4 ? 125 nm
  • n ? s
  • Saturated compounds, CH3OH etc (? 150 - 250 nm)
  • n ? ? and ? ? ?
  • Mostly used! ? 200 - 700 nm

30
Examples of UV-Visible Absorptions
LOW!
31
UV-Visible Absorption Chromophores
32
Effects of solvents
  • Blue shift (n- p) (Hypsocromic shift)
  • Increasing polarity of solvent ? better solvation
    of electron pairs (n level has lower E)
  • ? peak shifts to the blue (more energetic)
  • 30 nm (hydrogen bond energy)
  • Red shift (n- p and p p) (Bathochromic shift)
  • Increasing polarity of solvent, then increase the
    attractive polarization forces between solvent
    and absorber, thus decreases the energy of the
    unexcited and excited states with the later
    greater
  • ? peaks shift to the red
  • 5 nm

33
UV-Visible Absorption Chromophores
34
Typical UV Absorption Spectra
Chromophores?
35
Effects of Multiple Chromophores
36
The effects of substitution
Auxochrome function group
Auxochrome is a functional group that does not
absorb in UV region but has the effect of
shifting chromophore peaks to longer wavelength
as well As increasing their intensity.
37
Now solvents are your container
  • They need to be transparent and do not erase the
    fine structure arising from the vibrational
    effects

Polar solvents generally tend to cause this
problem
Same solvent must be Used when comparing absorptio
n spectra for identification purpose.

Summary of transitions for organic molecules
  • s ? s transition in vacuum UV (single bonds)
  • n ? s saturated compounds with non-bonding
    electrons
  • l 150-250 nm
  • e 100-3000 ( not strong)
  • n ? p, p ? p requires unsaturated functional
    groups (eq. double bonds) most commonly used,
    energy good range for UV/Vis
  • l 200 - 700 nm
  • n ? p e 10-100
  • p ? p e 1000 10,000

40
List of common chromophores and their transitions
41
Organic Compounds
  • Most organic spectra are complex
  • Electronic and vibration transitions superimposed
  • Absorption bands usually broad
  • Detailed theoretical analysis not possible, but
    semi-quantitative or qualitative analysis of
    types of bonds is possible.
  • Effects of solvent molecular details complicate
    comparison

42
Rule of thumb for conjugation
If greater then one single bond apart - e are
relatively additive (hyperchromic shift) - l
constant CH3CH2CH2CHCH2 lmax 184 emax
10,000 CH2CHCH2CH2CHCH2 lmax185 emax
20,000 If conjugated - shifts to higher ls
(red shift) H2CCHCHCH2 lmax217 emax
21,000
43
Spectral nomenclature of shifts
44
What about inorganics?
  • Common anions n?p nitrate (313 nm), carbonate
    (217 nm)
  • Most transition-metal ions absorb in the UV/Vis
    region.
  • In the lanthanide and actinide series the
    absorption process results from electronic
    transitions of 4f and 5f electrons.
  • For the first and second transition metal series
    the absorption process results from transitions
    of 3d and 4d electrons.
  • The bands are often broad.
  • The position of the maxima are strongly
    influenced by the chemical environment.
  • The metal forms a complex with other stuff,
    called ligands. The presence of the ligands
    splits the d-orbital energies.

45
Transition metal ions
46
Charge-Transfer-Absorption
  • A charge-transfer complex consists of an
    electron-donor group bonded to an electron
    acceptor. When this product absorbs radiation, an
    electron from the donor is transferred to an
    orbital that is largely associated with the
    acceptor.
  • Large molar absorptivity (emax gt10,000)
  • Many organic and inorganic complexes
