3 Wavelength and Spectroscopy

4 What Molecular Changes Cause UV/Vis Absorptions? λ = 200 ~ 700 nm UV/Vis spectroscopy is used to detect the presence of certain functional groups called chromophores, especially in conjugate systemssuch as aromatics, dienes, polyenes, and α,β -unsaturated ketones Electronic excitation Absorption of UV or visible light occurs only when the energy of incident radiation is the same as that of an electronic transition in the molecule.

5 Electronic Transitions Only n π* and π π* transitions usually show up in nm. Only limited set of organic functional groups show UV/Vis absorptions.

6 Instrument (double beam) Typical λ = 200 ~ 700 nm

7 The Beer s Law I A λ = log ( ref ) I sample A λ = ε λ x c x l I ref I sample > 1, thus A λ I ref I sample I ref I sample is aways positive. = 1 A λ = 0 = 10 A λ = 1 ε λ : molar absorptivity constant or extinction coefficient (l mol -1 cm -1 ) c : concentration (mol/l) l : path length (cm) I ref I sample I ref I sample = 100 A λ = 2 = 1000 A λ = 3

10 Typical UV/Vis Spectra O CH 3

11 Franck-Condon Principle Nuclear motion is negligible during the time required for an electronic transition. A B Excitation can occur from the ground state to any of the excited state vibrational levels. The lines overlap and a continuous broad band is observed.

12 Difference Spectroscopy UV absorption spectra and temperature -difference spectra of HO5dCyt in 0.02 M NaOH/NaHCO3 buffer at ph 10.5 at 25 C (A, dashed line), 75 C (A, solid line) and C (B). Comparable spectra of dcyt in 0.02 M NaOH/NaHCO3 buffer at ph 7 at 25 C (C, dashed line), 75 C (C, solid line) and C (D).

13 Isosbestic Points ε HA = ε A- HA A - Isosbestic points are usually a diagnostic for the presence of only two absorbing species.

14 Spectral Shift blue shift red shift

15 Polymeric Nucleic Acids Have an Increased Molar Absorptivity When They are Converted to Smaller Units

16 Common Organic Chromophores conjugated and non-conjugated

17 The Carbonyl Groups λmax 270 ~ 300 nm εmax 10 ~ 100, n π* O C and R R 1 R O C H!* c o n The two orbitals, n and π*, are orthogonal to each other and promotion of electron requires significant changes in geometry. The electronic transition must be coupled with vibration that allows some overlap between these orbitals.
