What is Ultraviolet–Visible Spectroscopic (UV-Vis absorption)?
Ultraviolet–Visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the interaction of ultraviolet and visible light with matter, typically in the wavelength range of 200–800 nm.
It is based on the principle that molecules containing conjugated π-electron systems or non-bonding electrons (n) can absorb photons and undergo electronic transitions from lower-energy ground states to higher-energy excited states.
The resulting absorption spectrum provides characteristic peaks corresponding to specific electronic transitions, which can be correlated with molecular structure, conjugation, and functional groups.
Quantitatively, the technique follows the Beer–Lambert law, relating absorbance to concentration, path length, and molar absorptivity, making UV-Vis spectroscopy widely used for both qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of chemical species in diverse fields such as chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, and environmental monitoring.
Ultraviolet–Visible Spectroscopic Procedure
The fundamental principle is based on the promotion of electrons within molecules from lower-energy electronic states to higher-energy excited states when they absorb photons of specific energies. Typically, these transitions involve π → π*, n → π*, and in some cases σ → σ* excitations, depending on the molecular orbitals available and the degree of electronic conjugation.
Molecules that contain chromophores functional groups with delocalized electrons are particularly responsive in this spectral region, producing characteristic absorption bands that can serve as molecular fingerprints.
From a quantitative standpoint, UV-Vis spectroscopy adheres to the Beer–Lambert law, which defines the linear relationship between absorbance (A), molar absorptivity (ε), concentration (c), and optical path length (l) as A = εcl. This property enables highly accurate concentration determinations of analytes in solution, provided the system remains optically transparent and free from scattering.
Beyond concentration measurements, the spectral profiles obtained can yield insights into electronic structure, degree of conjugation, complex formation, and even dynamic processes such as charge transfer and photochemical reactions. Because of its sensitivity, rapidity, and non-destructive nature, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy finds extensive application across disciplines including organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry (e.g., monitoring protein or nucleic acid concentrations), materials science (e.g., band gap determination in semiconductors), and environmental analysis (e.g., pollutant detection).
