Beers Law

Al1 = el1bc

e is molar absorptivity (unique for a

given compound at l1)

b is path length

c concentration

Beers Law

A = -logT = log(P0/P) = ebc

T = Psolution/Psolvent = P/P0

Works for monochromatic light

wavelengths

Characteristics of

Beers Law Plots One wavelength

Good plots have a range of

absorbances from 0.010 to 1.000

Absorbances over 1.000 are not that

valid and should be avoided

2 orders of magnitude


9/35

Standard Practice

Prepare standards of knownconcentration

Measure absorbance at lmax Plot A vs. concentration

Obtain slope

Use slope (and intercept) to determinethe concentration of the analyte in theunknown

Characteristics of UV-Vis spectra of

Organic Molecules Absorb mostly in UV unless highly

conjugated

Spectra are broad, usually to broad forqualitative identification purposes

Excellent for quantitative Beers Law-

type analyses The most common detector for anHPLC


13/35

Molecules have quantized energy levels:

ex. electronic energy levels.

}= hv

Q: Where do these quantized energy levels come from?

A: The electronic configurations associated with bonding.

Each electronic energy level(configuration) has

associated with it the many

vibrational energy levels we

examined with IR.

lmax

= 135 nm (a high energy transition)

Absorptions havinglmax < 200 nm are difficult to observe because

everything (including quartz glass and air) absorbs in this spectral

region.

The n to pi* transition is at even lower wavelengths but is notas strong as pi to pi* transitions. It is said to be forbidden.

Conjugated systems:

Preferred transition is between Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital(HOMO) and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO).

Note: Additional conjugation (double bonds) lowers the HOMO-

LUMO energy gap:

Example:

1,3 butadiene: lmax = 217 nm ; = 21,000

1,3,5-hexatriene lmax = 258 nm ; = 35,000

lmax = 114 + 5(8) + 11*(48.0-1.7*11) = 476 nm
