+ It is the branch of science that deals with the
study of interaction of matter with light.
OR
+ It is the branch of science that deals with the
study of interaction of electromagnetic
radiation with matter.

\ Electromagnetic
\Radiation

Electromagnetic Radiation

+ Electromagnetic radiation consist of discrete
packages of energy which are called as
photons.

+ A photon consists of an oscillating electric field
(E) & an oscillating magnetic field (M) which
are perpendicular to each other.

Magnetic field

Electric field Direction

Electromagnetic Radiation

+ Frequency (v):
— It is defined as the number of times electrical field
radiation oscillates in one second.
— The unit for frequency is Hertz (Hz).
1 Hz = 1 cycle per second

+ Wavelength (A):
— It is the distance between two nearest parts of the
wave in the same phase i.e. distance between two
nearest crest or troughs.

Electromagnetic Radiation

iw avelength >:

+ The relationship between wavelength &
frequency can be written as:

rinciples of —
Spectroscopy

Principles of Spectroscopy

+ The principle is based on the measurement of
spectrum of a sample containing atoms /
molecules.

+ Spectrum is a graph of intensity of absorbed or
emitted radiation by sample verses frequency
(v) or wavelength (A).

+ Spectrometer is an instrument design to
measure the spectrum of a compound.

Principles of Spectroscopy

1. Absorption Spectroscopy:

+ An analytical technique which concerns with
the measurement of absorption of
electromagnetic radiation.

+ e.g. UV (185 - 400 nm) / Visible (400 - 800 nm)
Spectroscopy, IR Spectroscopy (0.76 - 15 um)

Principles of Spectroscopy

2. Emission Spectroscopy:

+ An analytical technique in which emission
(of a particle or radiation) is dispersed
according to some property of the emission
&the amount of dispersion is measured.

* e.g. Mass Spectroscopy

“The study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with

molecules/atoms ”.

The study of absorbed radiation by molecule , in the

orm of spectra.
Eg: UV, IR, NMR, colorimetry,
Atomic absorption spectroscopy

The radiation emitted by molecules can also be
studied to reveal the structure of molecule.

Eg:flame photometry, flourimetry

Changes in energy take place at molecular level

Eg: UV, IR, colorimetry

Results in transitions between vibrational, 8
rotational energy levels

UV-visible spectroscopy measure
he response of a sample to ultra
violet and visible range of
electromagnetic radiation.

Molecules have either n,n or o
Electrons.These electrons absorb
UV radiation & undergoes

ransitions from ground state to
excited state.

The absorption of uv radiation brings about the promotion
lof an electron from bonding to antibonding orbital.

The wavelength of radiation is slowly changed from
minimum to maximum in the given region, and the
absorbance at every wavelength is recorded. Then a plot of
lenergy absorbed Vs wavelength is called absorption
spectrum.

The significant features:

Amax (wavelength at which there is a maximum
absorption)

€max (The intensity of maximum absorption)

| Interaction of

EMR EE

Interaction of EMR with matter
1. Electronic Energy Levels:

+ At room temperature the molecules are in the
lowest energy levels E,.

+ When the molecules absorb UV-visible light
from EMR, one of the outermost bond / lone
pair electron is promoted to higher energy
state such as E,, E,, ...E,, etc is called as
electronic transition and the difference is as:
AE=hw=E, - Eg Where (n= 1, 2, 3, ... etc)
AE = 35 to 71 kcal/mole

Interaction of EMR with matter

2. Vibrational Energy Levels:

These are less energy level than electronic
energy levels.

The spacing between energy levels are
relatively small i.e. 0.01 to 10 kcal/mole.

e.g. when IR radiation is absorbed, molecules
are excited from one vibrational level to
another or it vibrates with higher amplitude.

Interaction of EMR with matter

3. Rotational Energy Levels:
+ These energy levels are quantized €: discrete.

+ The spacing between energy levels are even
smaller than vibrational energy levels.

Beer’s Law

« When a monochromatic radiation is passed
through a solution, the decrease in the
intensity of radiation with thickness of the
solution is directly proportional to the
intensity of the incident light as well as
concentration of the solution.

+ Let I be the intensity of incident radiation.
x be the thickness of the solution.
C be the concentration of the solution.
Then

PRINCIPLES OF
UV - VISIBLE
SPECTROSCOPY

Principle
+ The UV radiation region extends from 10 nm

to 400 nm and the visible radiation region
extends from 400 nm to 800 nm.

Near UV Region: 200 nm to 400 nm
Far UV Region: below 200 nm

+ Far UV spectroscopy is studied under vacuum
condition.

« The common solvent used for preparing
sample to be analyzed is either ethyl alcohol
or hexane.

The possible electronic transitions are

* O — o* transition

* 6 — o* transition

+ & electron from orbital is excited to
corresponding anti-bonding orbital o*.

« The energy required is large for this
transition.

* e.g. Methane (CH,) has C-H bond only and
can undergo o > o* transition and shows
absorbance maxima at 125 nm.

* an — rn“ transition

- x electron in a bonding orbital is excited to
corresponding anti-bonding orbital nı*.

+ Compounds containing multiple bonds like
alkenes, alkynes, carbonyl, nitriles, aromatic
compounds, etc undergo n > rı* transitions.

+ e.g. Alkenes generally absorb in the region
170 to 205 nm.

* n — o* transition

+ Saturated compounds containing atoms with
lone pair of electrons like O, N, S and
halogens are capable of n > o* transition.

+ These transitions usually requires less energy
than o > o* transitions.

« The number of organic functional groups
with n > o* peaks in UV region is small (150
— 250 nm).

| * n — nr“ transition

« An electron from non-bonding orbital is
promoted to anti-bonding rı* orbital.

+ Compounds containing double bond
involving hetero atoms (C=O, C=N, N=O)
undergo such transitions.

* n > n* transitions require minimum energy
and show absorption at longer wavelength
around 300 nm.

ls + o —>x* transition |

| & | * a — o* transition

«These electronic transitions are forbidden
transitions & are only theoretically possible.

-Thus, n > n* £ n > n* electronic transitions
show absorption in region above 200 nm
which is accessible to UV-visible
spectrophotometer.

«The UV spectrum is of only a few broad of
absorption.

The transitions with the values of extinction co-
efficient more than 104 are usually called allowed
transitions.

They generally arise due to

TT-TT Trar on.
Eg: In 1,3-butadiene molar extinction co-efficient is
very high i.e.21000

These transitions are as a result of the excitation of
one electron from the lone pair present on the hetero

atom to an anti bonding n* orbital.
Eg: carbonyl compounds
Molar extinction co-efficient value is 104

Chromophore

To interpretate UV — visible spectrum following
points should be noted:

Non-conjugated alkenes show an intense
absorption below 200 nm & are therefore
inaccessible to UV spectrophotometer.

Non-conjugated carbonyl group compound

FOR VISIBLE RADIATION
TUNGSTEN HALOGEN LAMP

» Its construction is similar to a house hold lamp.

» The bulb contains a filament of Tungsten fixed in evacuated
condition and then filled with inert gas.

» The filament can be heated up to 3000 k, beyond this
Tungsten starts sublimating.

» Itis used when polychromatic light is required. To prevent this

OURCE FOR UV RADIATIO

HYDROGEN DISCHARGE LAMP:

» In Hydrogen discharge lamp pair of electrodes is enclosed in a
glass tube (provided with silica or quartz window for UV
radiation to pass trough) filled with hydrogen gas.

» When current is passed trough these electrodes maintained at

high voltage, discharge of electrons occurs which excites

hydrogen molecules which in tum cause emission of UV

radiations in near UV region.

r They are stable and robust.

NON DISCHARGE LAMP:

» It possesses two tungsten electrodes separated by some distance.
» These are enclosed in a glass tube (for visible) with quartz or fused
silica and xenon gas is filled under pressure.

» An intense are is formed between electrodes by appl

high
voltage. This is a good source of continuous plus additional intense
radiation. Its intensity is higher than the hydrogen discharge lamp.

DEME

» The lamp since operates at high voltage becomes very hot during

on.

operation and hence needs thermal insula

MERCURY ARC LAMP

In mercury arc lamp, mercury vapor is stored under high
pressure and excitation of mercury atoms is done by electric
discharge.

DEMERIT:

Not suitable for continuous spectral studies,(because it doesn’t

give continuous radiations).

COLLIMATING SYSTE

The radiation emitted by the source is collimated (made

parallel) by lenses, mirrors and slits. )
(

LENSES: ==>

> Materials used for the lenses must be transparent to the

radiation being used.
> Ordinary silicate glass transmits between 350 to 3000 nm
and is suitable for visible and near IR region.

or fused

¡sed as a material for lenses to work

00nm,

MIRRORS

» These are used to reflect, focus or collimate light beams in

spectrophotometer.

» To minimize the light loss, mirrors are aluminized on their

front surfaces.

SLITS:

» Slit is an important device in resolving polychromatic

radiation into monochromatic radiation.
» To achieve this, entrance slit and exit slit are used.

» The width of slit plays an important role in resolution of

polychromatic radiation.

MONOCHROMATORS
It is a device used to isolate the radiation of the desired
wavelength from wavelength of the continuous spectra,
Following types of monochromatic devices are used.
1. Filters

Prisms:

3 Gratings

FILTERS

Selection of filters is usually done on a compromise between

peak transmittance and band pass width; the former should be as

high as possible and latter as narrow as possible.

1. Absorption filters. works by selective absorption of
unwanted radiation and transmits the radiation which is
required.

Examples- Glass and Gelat

Selection of absorption filter is done according to
the following procedure:
» Draw a filter wheel.

430 nm

» Write the color VIBGYOR in clockwise or anticlockwise
manner, omitting Indigo.

» If solution to be analyzed is BLUE in color a filter having a

complimentary color ORANGE is used in the a

alysis.

» Similarly, we can select the required filter in colorimeter, based

upon the color of the solution,

» An Absorption glass filter is made of solid sheet of glass that
has been colored by pigments which Is dissolved or dispersed

in the glass.

» The color in the glass filters are produced by incorporating

metal oxides like (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu etc.).

» Gelatin filter is an example of absorption filter prepared by
adding organic pigments; here instead of solid glass sheets thin

gelatin sheets are used. Gelatin filters are not use now days.

» Ittends to deteriorate with time and gets affected by the heat and

moisture. The color of the dye gets bleached.

MERIT:
» Simple in construction

» Cheaper

» Selection of the filter is easy

ss accurate

» Band pass (bandwidth) is more (+20-30nm) ie. if we have to
measure at 400n: e get radiation from 370-430nm. Hence
less accurate results are obtained.

| e ;

TERFERENCE FILTERS

> Works on the interference phenomenon, causes rejection of

unwanted wavelength by selective reflection

> It is constructed by using two parallel glass plates, which are
silvered internally and separated by thin film of dielectric
material of different (CaF, SiO, MgF,) refractive index. These
filters have a band pass of 10-15nm with peak transmittance of

40-60%.

en

EAU

Merits -

> Provide greater transmittance and narrower band pass (10-
15nm) as compare to absorption filter.

> Inexpensive

> Additional filters can be used to cut off undesired wavelength.

PRISM

Prism is made from glass, Quartz or fused silica.
Quartz or fused silica is the choice of material of UV
spectrum.

When white light is passed through glass prism, dispersion
of polychromatic light in rainbow occurs. Now by rotation
of the prism different wavelengths of the spectrum can be
made to pass through in exit slit on the sample.

The effective wavelength depends on the dispersive power

of prism material and the optical angle of the prism.

“Cornu type'(refractive), which has an optical angle of 60°

and its adjusted such that on rotation the emerging light is

allowed to fall on exit slit.
wee

Cama pe

+ The other type is called “Littrow type”(reflective), which has
optical angle 30° and its one surface is aluminized with
reflected light back to pass through prism and to emerge on the

same side of the light source i.e. light doesn’t pass through the

prism on other side. minos

GR.

GS

> Are most effective one in converting a polychromatic light to
monochromatic light. As a resolution of +/- 0.Inm could be
achieved by using gratings, they are commonly used in
spectrophotometers.

> Gratings are of two types.

1. Diffraction grating.

2. Transmission gratings.

Diffraction Grating

> More refined dispersion of light is obtained by means of
diffraction gratings.

> These consist of large number of parallel lines ( grooves)
about 15000-30000/ inch is ruled on highly polished surface of
aluminum,

» these gratings are replica made from master gratings by

coating the original master grating with a epoxy resin and are

r removed after setting

» To make the surface reflective, a deposit of aluminum is made
on the surface. In order to minimize to greater amounts of
scattered radiation and appearance of unwanted radiation of
other spectral orders, the gratings are blazed to concentrate the

radiation into a single order.

Transmission grating

» It is similar to diffraction grating but refraction takes place
instead of reflection, Refraction produces reinforcement. this

occurs when radiation transmitted through grating reinforces

with the partially refracted radiation.

Advantages

> Grating gives higher and linear dispersions compared to
prism monochromator.

> Can be used over wide wavelength ranges.

> Gratings can be constructed with materials like
aluminium which is resistant to atmospheric moisture,

> Provide light of narrow wavelength.

> No loss of energy due to absorption.

Photo Tubes/Photoemissive Tubes

> Consists of a evacuated glass tube with a photocathode and a
collector anode.

> The surface of photocathode is coated with a layer of elements
like cesium, silver oxide or mixture of them.

> When radiant energy falls on photosensitive cathode, electrons
are emitted which are attracted to anode causing current to
flow.

widely used.

Photo Multiplier Tubes
» The principle employed in this detector i

that, multiplication
of photoelectrons by secondary emission of electrons.

» In a vacuum tube, a primary photo-cathode is fixed which
receives radiation from the sample.

» Some eight to ten dynod

are fixed each with increasing

potential of 75-100V hig!

er than preceding one.

» Near the last dynode is fixed an anode or electron collector
electrode.

» Photo-multiplier is extremely sensitive to light and is best

weaker or low radiation is received

SINGLE BEAM_SPECTROPHOTOMETER

+ Light from the source is carried through lens and/or through
aperture to pass through a suitable filter.

+ The type of filter to be used is governed by the colour of the
solution,

RATING

» After passing through the solution, the light strikes the surface
of detector (barrier-layer cell or phototube) and produces
electrical current,

» The output of current is measured by the deflection of needle
of light-spot galvanometer or micro ammeter. This meter is
calibrated in terms of transmittance as well as optical density.
The readings of solution of both standard and unknown are

recorded in optical density units after adjusting instrument to a

reagent blank.

DOUBLE BEAM UV-VIS

'ECTROPHOTOMETER

» Double beam instrument is the one in which two beams are
formed in the space by a U shaped mirror called as beam
splitter or beam chopper .

» Chopper is a device consisting of a circular disc. One third of
the disc is opaque and one third is transparent, remaining one
third is mirrored. It splits the monochromatic beam of light

into two beams of equal intensities.

RADIATION SOURCE

It is important that the power of the radiation source does
not change abruptly over its wavelength range. The
electrical excitation of deuterium or hydrogen at low
pressure produces a continuous UV spectrum.

Both Deuterium and Hydrogen lamps emit radiation in
the range 160 - 375 nm.
Problem-

- Due to evaporation of tungsten life period decreases.
- Itis overcome by using tungsten-halogen lamp.
» Halogen gas prevents evaporation of tungsten.

mirror to cause the light fall on Monochromator.

Deuterium lamps:-

>» Radiation emitted is 3-5 times more than the hydrogen
discharge lamps.

SAMPLE CONTAINERS OR SAMPLE CELLS

A variety of sample cells available for UV region. The
choice of sample cell is based on

a) the path length, shape, size

b) the transmission characteristics at the desired
wavelength

c) the relative expense

- The cell holding the sample should be transparent to the
wavelength region to be recorded. Quartz or fused silica
cuvettes are required for spectroscopy in the UV region.
Silicate glasses can be used for the manufacture of
cuvettes for use between 350 and 2000nm. The

thickness of the cell is generally 1 cm. cells may be
| in shape or cylindrical with flat ends.

Recorder

The construction of a traditional UV-VIS spectrometer is very similar to an
IR, as similar functions — sample handling, irradiation, detection and
output are required

Here is a simple schematic that covers most modern UV spectrometers:

monochromator/
beam splitter optics

UV Spectroscopy

Two sources are required to scan the entire UV-VIS band:
. Deuterium lamp — covers the UV — 200-330
. Tungsten lamp — covers 330-700

As with the dispersive IR, the lamps illuminate the entire band of UV
or visible light; the monochromator (grating or prism) gradually
changes the small bands of radiation sent to the beam splitter

The beam splitter sends a separate band to a cell containing the
sample solution and a reference solution

The detector measures the difference between the transmitted light
through the sample (I) vs. the incident light (I) and sends this
information to the recorder

UV Spectroscopy

Il. “Instrumentation and Spectra
A. Instrumentation
7. As with dispersive IR, time is required to cover the entire UV-VIS band
due to the mechanism of changing wavelengths

8. A recent improvement is the diode-array spectrophotometer - here a
prism (dispersion device) breaks apart the full spectrum transmitted
through the sample

Each individual band of UV is detected by a individual diodes on a silicon
wafer simultaneously — the obvious limitation is the size of the diode, so

some loss of resolution over traditional instruments is observed
