Applications • Quantitative analysis • Organics (if composition is simple and known) • Specific binding to chromaphore • Metal-ligand absorption (d-orbital splitting), (Co2+ experiment in gen chm)
cuvette slit source detector Beer’s Law • A = -logT = log(P0/P) = ebc • T = Psolution/Psolvent = P/P0 • Works for monochromatic light • Compound x has a unique e at different wavelengths
Beer’s Law Analysis • Choice of wavelength • Typically choose wavelength of maximum absorbance • May deviate from this to avoid an interference
Common UV-vis instuments Scanning Instrument monochromator slit Tungsten Filament (vis) Photomultiplier tube slit cuvette Deuterium lamp Filament (UV)
sources • Tungten lamp (350-2500 nm) • Deuterium (200-400 nm) • Xenon Arc lamps (200-1000 nm)
Monochromator • Braggs law, nl = d(sin i + sin r) • Angular dispersion, dr/dl = n / d(cos r) • Resolution, R = l/Dl = nN, resolution is extended by concave mirrors to refocus the divergent beam at the exit slit
Sample holder • Visible; can be plastic or glass • UV; you must use quartz
Single beam vs. double beam • Source flicker

Advantages/disadvantages • Scanning instrument • High spectral resolution (63000), l/Dl • Long data acquisition time (several minutes) • Low throughput • Diode array • Fast acquisition time (a couple of seconds), compatible with on-line separations • High throughput (no slits) • Low resolution (2 nm)
