Effect of electromagnetic radiations on chemical substances
But, the absorption spectrum of a molecule is highly complicated with closely packed lines
This is due to the fact that molecules have large number of energy levels and certain amount of energy is required for transition between these energy levels.

The Ultraviolet region [10 – 800nm]
The Ultraviolet region may be divided as follows,
1. Far (or Vacuum) Ultraviolet region [10 – 200 nm]
2. Near (or Quartz) Ultraviolet region [200 – 380 nm]
3. Visible region [380 - 800 nm]
21
The Ultraviolet region
Far (or Vacuum) Ultraviolet region [10 – 200nm]
• Electromagnetic spectral region from 100 – 200nm can be studied in evacuated system and this regions is termed as “vacuum UV”
• The atmosphere absorbs the hazardous high energy UV <200nm from sunlight
• Excitation (and maximum separation) of - electrons occurs in 120 – 200nm
Near (or Quartz) Ultraviolet region [200 - 380nm]
• Electromagnetic spectral region from 200 – 380nm normally termed as “Ultraviolet region”
• The atmosphere is transparent in this region and quartz optics may be used to scan from 200 – 380nm
• Excitation of p and d orbital electrons, - electrons and - conjugation (joining together) systems occurs in 200 – 380nm
Example for conjugation Benzene
22
The Visible region
Visible region [380 – 800nm]
• Electromagnetic spectral region from 380 – 800nm is termed as “visible region”
• The atmosphere absorbs the hazardous high energy UV <200nm from sunlight
• Excitation of -conjugation occurs in visible region; 380 – 800nm
• Conjugation of double bonds lowers the energy required for the transition and absorption will move to longer wavelength (i.e., to low energy)
2323

• In UV - Visible Spectroscopy, the sample is irradiated with the broad spectrum of the UV - Visible radiation
• If a particular electronic transition matches the energy of a certain band of UV - Visible, it will be absorbed
• The remaining UV - Visible light passes through the sample and is observed
• From this residual radiation a spectrum is obtained with “gaps” at these discrete energies – this is called an absorption spectrum

Lambert
fraction of the monochromatic light absorbed by a homogeneous medium is independent of the intensity of the
incident light and each successive unit layer absorbs an equal fraction of the light incident on it
Lambert’s law
Beer’s law
Beer
fraction of the incident light absorbed is proportional to the number of the absorbing molecules in the light-path and will increase with increasing concentration or sample thickness.
2626
Beer–Lambert law / Beer–Lambert– Bouguer law / Lambert – Beer law
log (I0/I) = c l = A Where, I0 - the intensity of incident lightI - the intensity of transmitted light - molar absorptivity / molar extinction coefficient in cm2 mol-1 or L mol-1 cm-1.c - concentration in mol L-1
l - path length in cmA - absorbance (unitless)
Molar absorptivity
2727
Absorption intensity
wavelength of light corresponding to maximum absorption is designated as max and can be read directly from the horizontal axis of the spectrum
Absorbance (A) is the vertical axis of the spectrum A = log (I0/I)I0 - intensity of the incident light; I - intensity of transmitted light
max
Intensity of absorption is directly proportional to the transition probability
A fully allowed transition will have max > 10000
A low transition probability will have max < 1000
max
max = 20000
28
Generalizations Regarding max
If spectrum of compound shows, Absorption band of
very low intensity (max = 10-100) in the 270-350nm region, and
no other absorptions above 200 nm,
Then, the compound contains a simple, nonconjugated chromophore containing n electrons.
The weak band is due to n * transitions.
If the spectrum of a compound exhibits many bands, some of which appear even in the visible region, the compound is likely to contain long-chain conjugated or polycyclic aromatic chromophore.
If the compound is colored, there may be at least 4 to 5 conjugated chromophores and auxochromes.
Exceptions: some nitro-, azo-, diazo-, and nitroso-compounds will absorb visible light.
29
Generalizations Regarding max
If max = 10,000 - 20,000; generally a simple , -unsaturated ketone or diene
If max = 1,000 - 10,000 normally an aromatic system
Substitution on the aromatic nucleus by a functional group which extends the length of the chromophore may give bands with max > 10,000 along with some which still havemax < 10,000.
Bands with max < 100 represent n * transitions.
molar absorptivities vary by orders of magnitude:
values of 104-106 are termed high intensity absorptions
values of 103 -104 are termed low intensity absorptions
values of 0 to 103 are the absorptions of forbidden transitions

Electronic Energy Levels
• Absorption of UV - Visible radiation by an organic molecule leads to electronic excitation among various energy levels within the molecule.
• Electron transitions generally occur in between a occupied bonding or lone pair orbital and an unoccupied non-bonding or antibonding orbital.
• The energy difference between various energy levels, in most organic molecules, varies from 30 to 150 kcal/mole
32
Bonding between two hydrogen atoms
According to Molecular Orbital Theory
One molecular orbital with 2 electrons
One bonding orbital with 2 electrons
One antibonding orbital without electrons and two nuclei
2 atomic orbitals of 2 hydrogen atoms
2 atomic orbitals of 2 hydrogen atoms
Bonding and anti-bonding formation from s atomic orbitals (Eg: H2 molecule)
33
According to Molecular Orbital Theory
Lower energy than original atomic orbitals
Higher energythan original atomic orbitals and bonding orbital - Because of
repulsion
2 atomic orbitals of 2 hydrogen atoms
Bonding orbitals are lower in energy than its original (atoms) atomic orbitals.
Because, energy is released when the bonding orbital is formed,
i.e., hydrogen molecule is more energetically stable than the original atoms.
However, an anti-bonding orbital is less energetically stable than the original atoms.
A bonding orbital is stable because of the attractions between the nuclei and the electrons.
In an anti-bonding orbital there are no equivalent attractions - instead of attraction you get repulsions.
There is very little chance of finding the electrons between the two nuclei - and in fact half-way between the nuclei there is zero chance of finding electrons. There is nothing to stop the two nuclei from repelling each other apart.
So in the hydrogen case, both of the electrons go into the bonding orbital, because that produces the greatest stability - more stable than having separate atoms, and a lot more stable than having the electrons in the anti-bonding orbital.

Electronic Transitions
• The valence electrons in organic molecules are involved in bonding as - bonds, - bonds or present in the non-bonding form (lone pair)
• Due to the absorption of UV - Visible radiation by an organic molecule different electronic transitions within the molecule occurs depending upon the nature of bonding.
• The wavelength of UV - Visible radiation causing an electronic transition depends on the energy of bonding and antibonding orbitals.
• The lowest energy transition is typically that of an electron in theHighest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) to the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO)

A low intense band at 300nm due to n * transition
Consequently, the probability of jump of an electron from n * orbital is very low and in fact zero according to symmetry selection rules.
But, vibrations of atoms bring about a partial overlap between the perpendicular planes and so n * transition does occur, but only to a limited extent.
• n * transition is always less intense because…….
• The electrons in the n-orbitals are situated perpendicular
to the plane of bond and hence to the plane of * orbital.

• Not all transitions that are possible in UV region are not generally observed.• For an electron to transition, certain quantum mechanical constraints apply – these
are called “selection rules”.
The selection rules are,• Rule - 1:The transitions which involve an change in the spin quantum number of an
electron during the transition are not allowed to take place or these are “forbidden”.
• Rule - 2: singlet –triplet transitions are forbidden Multiplicity of states (2S+1); Where, S is total spin quantum number.
Selection Rules
• Singlet state: have electron spin paired
• Triplet state: have two spins parallel
• Here,• For excited singlet state: S=0; therefore, 2S+1=1 - transition allowed• For excited triplet state: S=1; therefore, 2S+1=3 - transition forbidden
5353
Rule - 3: Symmetry of electronic states; n * transition in formaldehyde is forbidden by local symmetry. i.e., Energy is always a function of molecular geometry.
Selection Rules
• To further complicate matters, “forbidden” transitions are sometimes observed (albeit at low intensity) due to other factors.
In formaldehyde (H2C=O),
In n * excited state an electron arrives at the antibonding orbital, while the electron pair in the bonding orbital is still present.
Due to the third antibonding electron, the C=O bond becomes weaker and longer.
In the * excited configuration, the situation is somewhat worse because there is only one electron in the bonding orbital, while the other electron is anti-bonding (i.e. *).
Consequently, the excited state bond lengths will be longer than a genuine C=O double bond but shorter than a -type single C-O bond.
In other words, these excited states will have their energy minima somewhere in between that of H2C=O and H3C-OH.
5454
• Electronic transitions will take place only when the inter-nuclear distances are not significantly different in the two states and where the nuclei have little or no velocity.
• Thus, the forbidden transitions may arise when the inter-nuclear distances are significantly different in the two states and where the nuclei have significant velocity.
Franck and Condon Principle
Franck–Condon principle is the approximation that an electronic transition is most likely to occur without changes in the positions of the nuclei in the
molecular entity and its environment.
5555
• Electronic spectra is a graphical output of transitions between electronic energy levels.
• We know that, electronic transitions are accompanied by changes in both vibrational and rotational states.
• The wavelength of absorption depends on the energy difference between bonding/antibonding and non-bonding orbitals concerned.
• When gaseous sample is irradiated with UV - Visible light and the spectrum is recorded, a spectrum with number of closely spaced fine structure line is obtained.
• When the electronic spectrum of a solution is recorded, a absorption band is obtained in which closely spaced fine lines are merging together due to the solvent-solute interaction.
• Usually electronic absorption spectrums are broader bands than IR or NMR bands.
Origin and General appearance of UV bands
5656
• The absorption bands in the UV - Visible spectrum may be designated either by using electronic transitions [ *, *, *, n *, n *] or the letter designation as given below.
Designation of UV bands
R – bands (German, radikalartig)
• The bands due to n * transitions of single chromophoric groups are referred to as the R - Bands.
• Example: Carbonyl group, Nitro group
• Shows low molar absorptivity (max<100) and hypsochromic shift with an increase in solvent polarity.
K – bands (German, konjugierte)
• The bands due to * transitions in molecules containing conjugated systems are referred to as the K – Bands.
• Example: Butadiene, mesityl oxide
• They show high molar absorptivity (max<10,000).
5757
Designation of UV bands
B and E - bands
• The B and E bands are characteristic of the spectra of aromatic or heteroaromatic molecules.
Examples: • All benzenoid compounds exhibit E and B
bands representing * transitions.
• In benzene, E1 and E2 bands occur near 180nm and 200nm respectively and their molar absorptivity varies between (max = 2000 to max = 14000).
• The B-band occurs in the region from 250nm to 255nm as a broad band containing multiple fine structure and represents a symmetry-forbidden transition which has finite but low probability due to forbidden transitions in high symmetrical benzene molecule.
• The vibrational fine structure appears only in the B-band and disappears frequently in the more polar solvents.
58
Chromophores
The coloured substances owe their colour to the presence of one or more unsaturated groups responsible for electronic absorption. These groups are called chromophores.
Examples: C = C, C=C, C = N, C=N, C = O, N = N, etc..
Chromophores absorb intensely at the short wavelength
But, some of them (e.g, carbonyl) have less intense bands at higher wavelength due to the participation of n electrons.

Auxochromes
An auxochromes is an auxillary group which interact with chromophore and deepens colour; its presence causes a shift in the UV or visible absorption maximum to a longer wavelength
Examples: NH2, NHR and NR2, hydroxy and alkoxy groups.
Property of an auxochromic group:
• Provides additional opportunity for charge delocalization and thus provides smaller energy increments for transition to excited states.
• The auxochromic groups have atleast one pair of non-bonding electrons (lone pair) that can interact with the electrons and stabilizes the * state

-C1 H2C=CH2 175 H2C = CHCl 185
62
Bathochromic shift (Red shift) - max to longer wavelength
Shift of an absorption maximum to longer wavelength is called bathochromic shift.
Occurs due to change of medium ( * transitions undergo bathochromic shift with an increase in the polarity of the solvent)ORwhen an auxochrome is attached to a carbon-carbon double bond
Example: Ethylene : max = 175nm1-butene / isobutene : max = 188 nm
The bathochromic shift is progressive as the number of alkyl groups increases.
63
Hypsochromic shift (Blue shift) - max to Shorter wavelength
Shift of absorption maximum to shorter wavelength is known as hypsochromic shift.
Occurs due to change of medium (n * transitions undergo hypsochromic shift with an increase in the polarity of solvent)ORwhen an auxochrome is attached to double bonds where n electrons (eg: C=O) are available
Example: Acetonemax = 279nm in hexane
max = 264.5nm in water
This blue shift results from hydrogen bonding which lowers the energy of the n orbital.
64
Hyperchromic effect - increased (max) absorption intensity
It is the effect leading to increased absorption intensity
Example: intensities of primary and secondary bands of phenol are increased in phenolate

Example: intensities of primary and secondary bands of benzoic acid are decreased in benzoate

Isosbestic point
A point common to all curves produced in the spectra of a compound taken at various pH values is called isosbestic point.
If one absorbing species, X, is converted to another absorbing species, Y, in achemical reaction, then the characteristic behaviour shown in the figure below isobserved.
If the spectra of pure X and pure Y cross each other at any wavelength, then every spectrum recorded during this chemical reaction will cross at the same point, called an isosbestic point. The observation of an isosbestic point during a chemical reaction is good evidence that only two principal species are present.
Example: Absorption spectrum of 3.7×10-4 M methyl red as a function of pH between pH 4.5 and 7.1
The aniline-anilinium or phenol-phenolate conversion as a function of pH can demonstrate the presence of the two species in equilibrium by the appearance of an isosbestic point in the UV spectrum.

Radiation source, monochromator and detector
Two sources are required to scan the entire UV-VIS band:Deuterium lamp – covers the UV – 200-330Tungsten lamp – covers 330-700
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 (Photomultiplier, photoelectric cells) measures the difference between the transmitted light through the sample (I) vs. the incident light (I0) and sends this information to the recorder

Virtually all UV spectra are recorded solution-phase
Only quartz is transparent in the full 200-700 nm range; plastic and glass are only suitable for visible spectra 380 – 800nm
Concentration: 0.1 to 100mg 10-5 to 10-2 molar concentration may safely be
used
Percentage of light transmitted: 20% to 65%At high concentrations, amount of light transmitted is low,
increasing the possibility of error
A typical sample cell (commonly called a cuvet):Cells can be made of plastic, glass or quartz(standard cells are typically 1 cm in path length)

• This bathochromic effect of alkyl substitution is due to the extension of the chromophore, in the sense that there is a small interaction, due to hyperconjugation, between the electrons of the alkyl group and the chromophoric group.
• This effect is progressive as the number of alkyl groups increases.
• The intensity of alkene absorption is essentially independent of solvent because of the non-polar nature of the alkene bond.

A conjugated system requires lower energy for the * transition than an unconjugated system.
Example: Ethylene and Butadiene

Ethylene has only two orbitals; one ground state bonding orbital and one excited state * antibonding orbital. The energy difference () between them is about 176 kcal/mole.

Butadiene, however, with four electrons has four available orbitals, two bonding (1 and 2) and two antibonding (*3 and *4) orbitals.
The 1 bonding orbital encompasses all the four electrons over the four carbon atoms of the butadiene system and is somewhat more stable than a single bonding orbital in ethylene.
The 2 orbital is also bonding orbital, but is of higher energy than the 1 orbital.
The two * orbitals (*3 and *4) are respectively, more stable ((*3) and less stable (*4) than the * orbital of ethylene.
Energy absorption, with the appearance of an absorption band, can thus occur by a 2 (bonding) (*3 (antibonding transition. HOMO to LUMO), the energy difference of which (136 kcal/mole) is less than that of the simple * transition of ethylene (176 kcal/mole) giving a max= 217 nm; (i.e., at a longer wavelength).
It is to be expected that the greater the number of bonding orbitals, the lower will be the energy between the highest bonding orbital and the lowest excited * orbital.
The obvious extension of this in terms of max is that the greater the number of conjugated double bonds, the longer the wavelength of absorption.

When two or more C=C units are conjugated,
The energy difference E between the highest bonding orbital (HOMO) and the lowest excited * orbital (LUMO) becomes small and results in a shift of max to longer wavelength i.e., Bathochromic shift.
This concept helps to distinguish between the two isomeric diens,
1,5-hexadiene and 2, 4- hexadoeme, from the relative positions of max.

• In compounds where geometrical isomerism is possible.
Example: trans - stilbene absorbs at longer wavelength [max=295 nm] (low energy)
cis - stilbene absorbs at shorter wavelength [max=280 nm] (high energy) due to the steric effects. • Coplanarity is needed for the most effective overlap of the - orbitals and
increased ease of the * transition. The cis-stilbene is forced into a nonplanar conformation due to steric effects.

• UV spectroscopy is very sensitive to distortion of the chromophore and consequently the steric repulsions which oppose the coplanarity of conjugated -electron systems can easily be detected by comparing its UV spectrum with that of a model compound.
• Distortion of the chromophore may lead to RED or BLUE shifts depending upon the nature of the distortion.
Factors affecting the position of UV bands – 4. Effect of steric hindrance on coplanarity (steric inhibition

Verbenene
Actual; max =245.5nm
Calculated; max =229nm

The diene shown here might be expected to have a maximum at 273nm.
But, distortion of the chromophore, presumably out of planarity with consequent loss of conjugation, causes the maximum to be as low as 220nm with a similar loss in intensity (max =5500).

• The position and intensity of an absorption band is greatly affected by the polarity of the solvent used for running the spectrum.
• Such solvent shifts are due to the differences in the relative capabilities of the solvents to solvate the ground and excited states of a molecule.

• Non-polar compounds like Conjugated dienes and aromatic hydrocarbons exhibit very little solvent shift,

The following pattern of shifts are generally observed for changes to solvents of

• n * Band moves to shorter wavelength (blue shift).

In * the dipole interactions with the solvent molecules lower the energy of the excited state more than that of the ground state.

Thus small energy will be required for such a transition and absorption shows a red shift.

, -Un saturated carbonyl compounds - For increased solvent polarity
(iii) In general,
a) If the group (carbonyl) is more polar in the ground state than in the excited state, then increasing polarity of the solvent stabilizes the non-bonding electron in the ground state due to hydrogen bonding. Thus, absorption is shifted to shorter wave length.
b) If the group (carbonyl) is more polar in the excited state, the absorption is shifted to longer wavelength with increase in polarity of the solvent which helps in stabilizing the non-bonding electrons in the excited state.

• The position of absorption depends upon the length of the conjugated system.
• Longer the conjugated system, higher will be the absorption maximum and larger
will be the value of the extinction coefficient.
• If in a structure, the electron system is prevented from achieving coplanarity, In long-chain conjugated polyenes, steric hindrance to coplanarity can arise when cis-bonds are present.
• This is illustrated by the naturally occurring bixin (`all trans’ methyl carotenoid) and its isomer with a central cis-double bonds.
• In the latter the long wavelength band is weakened and a diagnostically useful `cis-band` probably due to partial chromophore, appears at shorter wavelength.

Similar to alkenes and alkynes, non-substituted carbonyls undergo the * transition in the vacuum UV (max=188 nm; max=900)

For auxochromic substitution on the carbonyl, pronounced hypsochromic (blue) shifts are observed for the n p* transition (lmax):
This is explained by the inductive withdrawal of electrons by O, N or halogen from the carbonyl carbon – this causes the n-electrons on the carbonyl oxygen to be held more firmly
It is important to note this is different from the auxochromic effect on p p* which extends conjugation and causes a bathochromic shift
In most cases, this bathochromic shift is not enough to bring the p p* transition into the observed range

Conversely, if the C=O system is conjugated both the n p* and p p* bands are
Bathochromically (Red) shifted
Here, several effects must be noted:
• the effect is more pronounced for p p*
• if the conjugated chain is long enough, the much higher intensity p p* band will overlap and drown out the n p* band
• the shift of the n p* transition is not as predictable
For these reasons, empirical Woodward-Fieser rules for conjugated enones are for the higher intensity, allowed p p* transition

Woodward-Fieser Rules
Woodward and the Fiesers performed extensive studies of terpene and steroidal alkenes and noted similar substituents and structural features would predictably lead to an empirical prediction of the wavelength for the lowest energy p p* electronic transition
This work was distilled by Scott in 1964 into an extensive treatise on the Woodward-Fieser rules in combination with comprehensive tables and examples – (A.I. Scott, Interpretation of the Ultraviolet Spectra of Natural Products, Pergamon, NY, 1964)
A more modern interpretation was compiled by Rao in 1975 – (C.N.R. Rao, Ultraviolet and Visible Spectroscopy, 3rd Ed., Butterworths, London, 1975)
