UV-VIS ABSORPTIONIn UV/VIS spectroscopy, the transitions which
result in the absorption of EM radiation in this region are transitions btw electronic energy levels.
![Page 7: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
- In molecules, not only have electronic level but also consist of vibrational and rotational sub-levels. - This result in band spectra.

Sigma ()electron
Electrons involved in single bonds such as those between carbon and hydrogen in alkanes.
These bonds are called sigma (σ) bonds.The amount of energy required to excite
electrons in σ bond is more than UV photons of wavelength. For this reason, alkanes and other saturated compounds (compounds with only single bonds) do not absorb UV radiation and therefore frequently very useful as transparent solvents for the study of other molecules. For example, hexane, C6H14.
![Page 11: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pi () electronElectrons involved in double and triple bonds
(unsaturated). These bonds involve a pi (п) bond. For example: alkenes, alkynes, conjugated
olefins and aromatic compounds.Electrons in п bonds are excited relatively
easily; these compounds commonly absorb in the UV or visible region.

between atoms are called n electrons. Organic compounds containing nitrogen,
oxygen, sulfur or halogens frequently contain electrons that are nonbonding.
Compounds that contain n electrons absorb UV/VIS radiation.

Absorption by Organic Compounds
UV/Vis absorption by organic compounds requires that the energy absorbed corresponds to a jump from occupied orbital unoccupied orbital.
Generally, the most probable transition is from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO).
![Page 16: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

* transitionsNever observed in normal UV/Vis work.The absorption maxima are < 150 nm.The energy required to induce a σ σ*
transition is too great (see the arrow in energy level diagram)
This type of absorption corresponds to breaking of C-C, C-H, C-O, C-X, ….bonds

Saturated compounds must contain atoms with unshared electron pairs.
Compounds containing O, S, N and halogens can absorb via this type of transition.
Absorptions are typically in the 150 -250 nm region and are not very intense.

CHROMOPHORE
Unsaturated organic functional groups that absorb in the UV/VIS region are known as chromophores.
![Page 24: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

AUXOCHROMEGroups such as –OH, -NH2 & halogens that
attached to the doubley bonded atoms cause the normal chromophoric absorption to occur at longer λ (red shift). These groups are called auxochrome.
![Page 26: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Effect of Multichromophores on Absorption
More chromophores in the same molecule cause bathochromic effect ( shift to longer ) and hyperchromic effect(increase in intensity)
In the conjugated chromophores * electrons are delocalized over larger number of atoms causing a decrease in the energy of * transitions and an increase in due to an increase in probability for transition.

Absorption by Inorganic Species
Involving d and f electrons absorption
3d & 4d electrons- 1st and 2nd transition metal series e.g. Cr, Co, Ni & Cu- Absorb broad bands of VIS radiation- Absorption involved transitions btw filled and unfilled d-orbitals with energies that depend on the ligands, such as Cl-, H2O, NH3 or CN- which are bonded to the metal ions.
![Page 31: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

4f & 5f electrons- Ions of lanthanide and actinide elements- Their spectra consists of narrow, well-defined characteristic absorption peaks

Charge Transfer Absorption
Absorption involved transfer of electron from the donor to an orbital that is largely associated with the acceptor.
an electron occupying in a σ or orbital (electron donor) in the ligand is transferred to an unfilled orbital of the metal (electron acceptor) and vice-versa.
e.g. red colour of the iron(III) thiocyanate complex

Disadvantages:
Two separate readings has to be made on the light. This results in some error because the fluctuations in the intensity of the light do occur in the line voltage, the power source and in the light bulb btw measurements.
Changing of wavelength is accompanied by a change in light intensity. Thus spectral scanning is not possible.

Quantitative Analysis
The fundamental law on which absorption methods are based on Beer’s law (Beer-Lambert law).
![Page 44: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Measuring absorbance
You must always attempt to work at the wavelength of maximum absorbance (max)
This is the point of maximum response, so better sensitivity and lower detection limits.
You will also have reduced error in your measurement.

Calibration curve method
A general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of std sample of known concentration
![Page 48: ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/56815c12550346895dc9ee1b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Standard Calibration Curve
How to measure the concentration of unknown? Practically, you have measure the absorbance of your
unknown. Once you know the absorbance value, you can just read the corresponding concentration from the graph .
Concentration, ppm

How to produce standard calibration curve?
Prepare a series of standard solution with known concentration.
Measure the absorbance of the standard solutions.

The calculation of the slope and intercept is simplified by defining three quantities Sxx, Syy and Sxy.
Sxx = (xi – x)2 = xi2– ( xi)2 …… (1)
Syy = (yi – y)2 = yi2– ( yi)2 ……(2)

Then plot the graph.

Most linear regression implementations have an option to “force the line through the origin,” which means forcing the intercept of the line through the point (0,0). This might seem reasonable, since a sample with no detectable concentration should produce no response in a detector, but must be used with care.
HOWEVER, forcing the plot through (0,0) is not always recommended, since most curves are run well above the instrumental limit of detection (LOD). Randomly, adding a point (0,0) can skew the curve because the instrument’s response near the LOD is not predictable and is rarely linear. As illustrated next page, forcing a curve through the origin can, under some circumstances, bias results.

Dividing the 2nd equation by the first & then rearrange it will give:
Cx = A1 Cs Vs (A2 – A1 ) Vx

Example Standard Addition (single point addition)
A 2.00-mL urine specimen was treated with reagent to generate a color with phosphate, following which the sample was diluted to 100 mL. To a second 2.00mL sample was added exactly 5.00mL of a phosphate solution containing 0.03 mg phosphate /mL, which was treated in the same way as the original sample. The absorbance of the first solution was 0.428, while the second one was 0.538. Calculate the concentration of phosphate in milligrams per millimeter of the specimen.

Solution:
Cx = (0.428) (0.03 mg PO43-/mL) (5.00mL) (0.538 – 0.428)(2.00mL)
= 0.292 mg PO43- / mL sample

The concentration of an unknown chromium solution was determined by pipetting 10.0mL of the unknown into each of five 50.0 mL volumetric flasks. Various volumes of a standard containing 12.2 ppm chromium were added to the flasks and then the solutions were diluted to the mark.
Determine the concentration of chromium (in ppm) in the unknown.
