The effect of a cationic (CPB) and an anionic (SDS) surfactant on the bands in the absorption spectra of methyl red was studied. The interactions of methyl red with the two surfactants were monitored on the basis of the changes in the absorption curves that were mathematically deconvoluted into Gaussian shape absorption bands. The methyl red dissociation constants were determined in the presence of the two surfactants at sub- and supercritical micelle concentrations. The methyl red conditional dissociation constants changed by ΔpKa = -1.47 for c(CPB) = 5 mmol l-1 and ΔpKa = 0.81 for c(SDS) = 4 mmol l-1. The contributions of the individual forms of methyl red to the interactions with CPB and SDS were discussed.

The effect of the non-ionogenic surfactant Triton X-100 (TX) and β-cyclodextrin (CD) on the absorption bands of methyl red was examined. The interactions of methyl red with the both substances were studied based on changes in the absorption curves after their resolution into Gaussian bands. The conditional dissociation constants of methyl red were determined at various concentrations of the additives (in the case of TX, both below and above its cmc value). At cTX = 0.06 mol l-1 the change in the conditional dissociation constant of methyl red was ∆pKa = -0.58 and at cCD = 6 mmol l-1 the ∆pKa value was identical.

This paper presents ultraviolet absorption spectra of two diamino-1,3,5-triazines, namely 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (DT) and 6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (ClDT). The spectra were fitted to the log-normal distribution. In the more energetic zone of the spectrum both compounds presented common bands, placed around 204-205 and 223-226 nm (depending on the pH of the medium). At higher wavelengths the spectra were different, with bands appearing in the range 235-267 nm. From variations of the maximum absorbances of the individual bands, the pKb values 3.5 ± 0.2 and 1.2 ± 0.1 were obtained for protonation of the ring nitrogen placed between the amine radicals of DT and ClDT, respectively, and 9.35 ± 0.2 and 11.5 ± 0.1 for dissociation of the amino groups of DT and ClDT, respectively.

The positons of the absorption maxima and the values of the molar absorption coefficients of all the acid-base forms and the dissociation constants of the individual acid-base transition of chromatographically pure Chromazurol S, Eriochromazurol B and Eriochromcyanine R were found by graphical and numerical interpretation of the absorbance curves measured in aqueous medium and mixed water-ethanol and water-DMF medium. These values were compared with the values given in the literature.

Two new compounds from the formazan series, viz. 1,3-diphenyl-5-(1H-tetrazol-2-yl)formazan and 1,3-diphenyl-5-(2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)formazan, were prepared, and the dissociation constants and molar absorptivities of all of their acid-base species were determined spectrophotometrically employing the SPEKTFOT computer program.

The mechanism of controlled anionic coordination dimerization of isoprene (i.e. 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in the system tetrahydrofuran-isoprene-alkali metal-dialkylamine was investigated by using absorption spectrophotometry in the range of visible radiation and gas chromatography. The effect of the alkali metal (Li, Na, K) and dialkylamine (dicyclohexylamine, N-isopropylcyclohexylamine, N-methylisopropylamine) on the absorption spectra was tested. By comparing chromatographic and spectrophotometric data, the absorption bands in the range of visible radiation were identified with the existence of π-complexes between oligomeric forms of isoprene and alkali metal dialkylamide.

AbstractA detailed investigation of the energy levels of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic tetraethylester as a representative compound for the whole family of perylene esters was performed. It was revealed via electrochemical measurements that one oxidation and two reductions take place. The bandgaps determined via the electrochemical approach are in good agreement with the optical bandgap obtained from the absorption spectra via a Tauc plot. In addition, absorption spectra in dependence of the electrochemical potential were the basis for extensive quantum-chemical calculations of the neutral, monoanionic, and dianionic molecules. For this purpose, calculations based on density functional theory were compared with post-Hartree–Fock methods and the CAM-B3LYP functional proved to be the most reliable choice for the calculation of absorption spectra. Furthermore, spectral features found experimentally could be reproduced with vibronic calculations and allowed to understand their origins. In particular, the two lowest energy absorption bands of the anion are not caused by absorption of two distinct electronic states, which might have been expected from vertical excitation calculations, but both states exhibit a strong vibronic progression resulting in contributions to both bands.

ABSTRACTIn this work, we report on the material properties of ZnO doped with Mn, Co, and Fe grown by a modified melt growth technique. X-ray diffraction measurements show that transition metals can be incorporated on Zn sites; an increase in the lattice parameter is apparent with increasing doping level. UV-visible transmission and reflectance measurements have also been performed. Absorption bands in the visible regime are distinctive to the individual transition metal dopants. A noticeable shift in the optical band edge has been observed from these Mn/Co/Fe-doped ZnO crystals in comparison with the undoped material. ZnO may also provide a suitable platform for the incorporation of transition metal elements through high temperature near equilibrium growth processes; however, further work is required in order to employ these materials for spintronic applications.

The uncertainty which still surrounds the origin of a phenomenon so familiar as the yellow coloration of the urine bears eloquent testimony to the difficulties which beset the investigation, by ordinary chemical methods, of such substances as the urinary pigments, and to the importance of the part which the spectroscope has played in the acquisition of such knowledge of them as we possess. Indeed, our acquaintance with the individual pigments is proportional to the distinctive character of their absorption spectra, rather than to the time which has elapsed since they first attracted attention; and in not a few modern works doubt is thrown upon the very existence of a distinct yellow pigment, having negative spectroscopic properties, but to which normal urine owes its characteristic tint, the chief part in the coloration of the excretion being assigned to urobilin.

The title compounds (natural low-dimensional semiconductors) show strong excitonic optical absorption bands in the UV-visible spectral region, because of the dielectric confinement of excitons. as in the cases of other similar systems based on PbX2-4, SnX2-4.

Chalcones (α,β-unsaturated ketones) containing aromatic or heterocyclic radicals are highly reactive, allowing the synthesis of novel organic compounds. In this study, the dissociation constants (pKa) of seven chalcones derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline were determined and the influence on dissociation of substituents in the phenyl group (-CH3, -OCH3, -N(CH3)2, -Cl, -Br, and -NO2) was analysed. pKa values are important because they determine the pH at which ligands are fully deprotonated -when they show their maximum chelating properties- and determine the ligands interactions at different pH values. The chalcones’ pKa’s were calculated by visible ultraviolet spectroscopy in a water-ethanol (1:1) mixture using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. It was shown that the 8-hydroxyquinolinic fragment has a large electron donor effect on the π system of the chalcones. The introduction of substituents (R) in the phenyl fragment of the chalcones slightly affected the dissociation of the hydroxyl group and the protonation of the nitrogen in the hydroxyquinoline fragment. The acceptor substituents (Cl, Br, NO2) increased the polarity of OH- and its acidity. Nitrogen protonation decreased electron donor properties of this fragment, and deprotonation of the hydroxyl caused the opposite effect. Substituents introduction in the phenyl fragment slightly affected hydroxyl group dissociation and nitrogen protonation.
