UV-vis (Electronic) Spectra-2012 -Ch.12 Atkins, Ch.19 Engel
Most broadly used analytical tech / especially bio-applic.
inexpensive optics / solvent usually not problem
intense transitions sensitive, low concentrations
broader transitions – involve vibrational excitation
Optical Spectroscopy Processes diagram
But some molecules “don’t absorb” in UV-region >200nm
all absorb in vac. UV (

Basic idea – excite electrons to a new state Thus - new potential surface, i.e. vibrations will differ Franck-Condon Principle “vertical transitions” Nuclear motion slow compared
to transition time effectively “frozen” nuclei
In excited state, first molecule relaxes to new equilibrium structure, then fluoresce Vibrational energy to solvent “vibrational relaxation” Mirror image spectra A – absorbance F – fluorescence Each broad band many component
“Vibronic” transitions: ge g
exe ex
vibronic overlap often unresolved Born-Oppenheimer idea, separate integrals: r and R

F-C allowed transitions Vertical excitation of electrons, nuclei stay near minimum of originating surface. Favor vibration with turning point over minimum of other state. Multiple vibrations excited, relative intensity given by overlap of vibrational functions, initial and final states F-C envelop
Potential energy surfaces shapes Engel (p.459-60) Top: Vibration Spacing: A excited, F ground state Bottom: bigger potential shift, more distribution,
eventually get continuum (structureless—dissociate)
Shift of potential surfaces reflected in F-C bandshape Gap - Absorb and Fluor shift, different geometry vibs closer, bond strength

Molecule - electronic energies change with nuclear positions, and gives rise to different vibrational levels Ex. Potential energies of I2 electronic states- Many states, not all transitions seen – selection rules Plus each has own vibration energies
Absorbance A = -log10 I/I0 = b c {b – path, c – conc.
– molecular property relate to dipole strength D
QM link: Intensity - A ~ D10 = 1* 0 d 2

Electronic Spectra – Broad - vibrations couple electronic
Spectra reflect: h = E a) change electronic energies
Eel = E1 – E0
b) change of vibration (note: frequencies differ)
Evib = (e+½)he – (g+½)hg
initial state – typically g = 0
but small g or high T “hot band” absorb from g 0
most probable “vertical transition” (Franck-Condon)
Fluorescence – if relax to e = 0 then can emit photon Can be mirror image of Absorption, but fluorescence
Vibrational progression reflects lower state
Intensity - IF ~ D01 same probability as absorbance
vibronic pattern differ – spacing g
linear: measure IF ~ Iexcite (if excite by absorption) but measure fluor. signal against null background
extremely sensitive / can even do single molecule [Problem – other relaxation limit quantum yield]

Ex. absorption/fluorescence spectra –vertical surface Selection rules —less simple than for rotations and vibrations a. Molecule must change dipole moment, normally change electronic states where charge is dislocated (if center of symmetry gu, polyatomic use symmetry)
b. Spin not affected by E-field (light) – S = 0
c. Between states, vibrations change - v = 0, ±1, ±2, . .
But rotations restricted: J = 0, ±1

What kind of molecules have measurable Absorbance?
a. All absorb vacuum UV ( < 200 nm , > 50,000 cm-1
)
everything eventually (shorter ) absorbs
Closed shell, saturated, light atoms only at higher e.g.: H2O , MeOH -- closed shells, saturated CnH2n+2 , CnH2n-m Fm+2 -- light atoms LiF , CaF2 -- salts He, Ne, Ar – rare gas
b. UV (ultraviolet) (: 200-400 nm, = 50-25,000 cm-1
)
big contribution are -systems aromatics, polyenes, conjugated
hetero atom: O

N
H + lone pair delocalize
plus heavier atom systems S S C I …
c. in Visible (: 400-700 nm , = 25,000-14,000 cm-1
)
need very delocalized system (-electron)

transition metal Fe(CN)6-3
CuII(SH)2(NH3)2 etc. complexes : red blue
d. near-IR (: 700-2500 nm , = 14,000-4,000 cm-1
