Introduction to UV-Vis Spectrometry


To solve mixtures you MUST remember that:

AT = A1 + A2 + ...+ An = 1.b.C1 + 2 .b.C2 + ...+ n .b.Cn

Apparent chemical deviations Arise when analyte dissociates, associates, or somehow reacts Leads to a product with a different and/or MAX

Quick problem An student is determining the [phenolphthalein] by spectrophotometry. If he dissolved the sample in a borate buffer of pH=9.3... What fraction of the sample is not measured?

HPhen Phen + H +

Ka = 2 x 10-10

Can you demonstrate that mathematically? What pH should be used? What buffer would give you such pH?

Molecular Luminescence Spectrometry


Variety of methods where molecules are exited and emit light Fluorescence Phosphorescence Chemiluminescence Electroluminescence Advantages / Disadvantages Sensitivity (LOD 103 better than absorption spectrometry) Wide linear concentration range Selectivity Limited applicability

Molecular Luminescence Spectrometry


Why molecules emit light? Electrons are exited by absorption of UV and then relax Quick absorption (10-14 / 10-15 s) Fluorescence (10-5 / 10-10 s) Phosphorescence (10-4 / 10 s)
