The UV Spectra of Flavones and Flavonols in Methanol Spektrum metanol flavon dan flavonol menunjukkan dua puncak serapan utama di wilayah 240 - 400 nm . Kedua puncak ini biasa disebut sebagai Band I (biasanya 300 - 380 nm, dan Band II (biasanya 240 - 280 nm). Band I dianggap terkait dengan penyerapan karena B-ring cinnamoyl sistem, dan Band II dengan penyerapan yang melibatkan sistem cincin-benzoil (lihat III ).
On increasing the oxygenation of the B-ring in flavones and flavonols , a bathochromic shift in Band I occurs with each additional oxygen function (see Table V-3) Increasing hydroxylation of the A-ring in flavones and flavonols produces a notable bathochromic shift in Band II (see Table V-4) and a smaller effect on Band 1. 1a. The Effect of Oxidation Patterns on the UV Spectra of Flavones and Flavonols

If a 3-, 5- or 4'-hydroxyl group on the flavone or flavonol nucleus is methylated or glycosylated, hypsochromic shifts (i. e. to shorter wavelengths), especially in Band I , are observed. The shift associated with the substitution of the 3-hydroxyl group is usually of the order of 12 - 17 nm but reaches 22 - 25 nm in flavonols which do not contain a free 5-hydroxyl group. Methylation of the 5-hydroxyl group results in a 5-15 nm hypsochromic shift in both Band land II. And, Methylation or glycosylation of the 4'-hydroxyl group produces a 3-10 nm hypsochromic shift in Band I. Substitution of the hydroxyl groups at positions other than 3, 5 and 4' has little or no effect on the UV spectrum (in methanol). 1b. The Effect of Methylation and Glycosylation on the UV Spectra of Flavones and Flavonols
Acetylation of a phenolic hydroxyl group is known to nullify the effect of that group on the UV spectrum. This principle has been applied by Jurd [1] to locate methoxyl groups in polyhydroxyflavones . For example, diosmetin triacetate (IV) was shown to possess a UV spectrum ( max 257 and 320 nm) similar to that observed for 4'-methoxyflavone ( max 253 and 317 nm). 1c.
