UV - VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY
2nd PART
04/09/2023 2
Introduction
Ultraviolet spectroscopy is concerned with the study of absorption of UV
radiation which ranges from 200nm to 400nm. Compounds which are colored
absorb radiation from 400nm to 800nm. But which are colorless absorb radiation from uv region. In case of uv as well as visible spectroscopy ,only the valance
electrons absorb the energy, there by the molecules undergoes transition from ground state to excited state. This
absorption is characteristic and depends on the nature of electrons present. The intensity of absorption depends on the
concentration and path length as given by BEER –LAMBERT’s law.

THEORY OF ELECTRONIC SPECTROSCOPY
When any molecule absorbs ultraviolet or visible
light its electrons get promoted from ground state to the higher energy state .
In ground state ,the spins of electrons in each
molecular orbital are essentially paired.
In higher energy states , if the spins of electrons are paired ,then it is called as an excited singlet state.
according to the molecular orbital theory ,when a molecule is excited by the absorption of energy (uv or visible light),its electrons are promoted to from
BONDING TO ANTIBONDING ORBITAL

TYPES OF ELECTRONIC TRANSITIONS
There are three types of electrons are generally present in organic molecules:
They are as followed:
1) ‘σ’ electrons : present in saturated molecules
2) ‘∏’ electrons : present in unsaturated moleculeseg . double or triple bonds
3) ‘n’ electrons : these are non bonded electronseg . S,O,N & Halogens
The various transition states are
1) n ∏*2) ∏ ∏* 3) n σ*4) σ σ*

ENERGY REQUIRED for excitation for different transitions are:
n → ∏ * < ∏ → ∏ * < n → σ* < σ → σ*
1.n → ∏ * : Of all the types of transition, n → ∏ * transition requires the lowest energy . This type of transitions are observed in the molecules having ‘n’ electrons.(present in S, N, O Or Halogens)
The presence of n → ∏ * transition can be
identified easily by comparing the UV spectrum of substance with the spectrum.
2. ∏ → ∏ * : The energy required of this transition is between
n → ∏ * and n → σ* .But extended conjugations and alkyl substitutions shifts the λmax towards longer λ (bathochromic shift).
Also trans isomer of olefin absorbs at longer λ with more intensity than cis isomer.

3. n → σ* :
This transition occurs in saturated compounds, with hetero atoms Like S , N , O or halogens. It requires lesser energy when compared toσ → σ*transition. Normally the peaks due to this transition occurs from 180nm to 250nm. As these peaks are observed at lower end of the UV spectrum ,it can be called as end absorption. Some compounds with n → σ* transitions are: methyene chloride ,water , methanol, ethanol, ether etc.
4. σ → σ* :
This type of electronic transition requires the highest energy. This is observed with saturated compounds(especially hydrocarbons).the peaks do not observed in UV region, but occur in vacuum UV or for UV region . i.e. 125-135nm.

Choice of solvents and solvent effects:
solvents play a important role in UV spectra. Since compound peak could be obscured by solvent peak. Hence the sample is selected in such a way that the solvent neither absorbs in the region of measurement nor affects the absorption of the sample. Some common solvents used and their absorption regions are:
water 191 nm
Cyclohexane 195 nm
Methanol 203 nm
Ethanol 204 nm
Ether 215 nm
chloroform 237 nm
Carbon tetrachloride 257 nm

Effects of polar solvents on the sample :
1. Polar solvents shifts ∏→∏* transition from lower to higher wavelength.
Because alkyl substitutions occurs in case of olefins. This type of shift is called as bathochromic shift.
2. Polar solvents shift n→∏ * & n→∏* to shorter wavelength.
Because of formation of hydrogen bonding between the sample and solvent molecule. This type of shift is called as blue shift.
