Visible-Ultra-Violet

In modern times, most analyses are performed on an analytical instrument for, e.g., gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-violet/visible (UV) or infrared (IR) spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), mass spectrometry. Each of these instruments has a limitation on the amount of an analyte that they can detect. This limitation can be expressed as the IDL, which may be defined as the smallest amount of an analyte that can be reliably detected or differentiated from the background on an instrument. 

Detection is also frequently a key issue in polymer analysis, so much so that a section below is devoted to detectors. Only two detectors, the ultra-violet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-VIS) and the differential refractive index (DRI), are commonly in use as concentration-sensitive detectors in GPC. Many of the common polymer solvents absorb in the UV, so UV detection is the exception rather than the rule. Refractive index detectors have improved markedly in the last decade, but the limit of detection remains a common problem. Also, it is quite common that one component may have a positive RI response, while a second has a zero or negative response. This can be particularly problematic in co-polymer analysis. Although such problems can often be solved by changing or blending solvents, a third detector, the evaporative light-scattering detector, has found some favor.

The process of absorption measurements in atomic absorption can be compared to absorption measurements in the standard colorimeter or ultra-violet/visible spectrophotometer. The equipment consists of a radiation source, sample cell and detector readout. The radiation from the source is measured without the sample in the sample cell and the intensity designated 70. The sample is then placed in the sample cell and energy is absorbed. The new intensity of radiation is measured and designated I. I0 — I equals the amount of source radiation absorbed by the sample.

Neither La nor Lu show absorption bands in the ultra-violet, visible or near infrared, but the rest do. The bands are narrow compared with those of the normal transition ions. The energy changes involved are probably due to excitations within the 4f shell, since complexing agents, which alter the absorption spectra of normal transition ions by modifying their outer structure, have little effect on the lanthanide ions. An ion with n... 

The oil shale of the Julia Creek deposit has been shown to contain a very complex mixture of vanadium porphyrin compounds. Several groups of compounds were isolated by column chromatography and high pressure liquid chromatography and examined by ultra-violet-visible spectroscopy, insertion probe, fast atom bombardment and field desorption mass spectrometry. These groups of compounds were found to consist of several homologous series, and included some compounds tentatively identified as phylloerythrin and chlorin derivatives.

Circular dichroism has been well understood and estabhshed in the ultra-violet, visible, near- and mid-infrared frequency range as an integral part of contemporary biophysics with numerous, excellent, turnkey instruments commercially available. However, there have been no documented measurements of terahertz circular dichroism. We have developed a simple physical model of circular dichroism in the terahertz frequency range, and build upon our broad band absorption spectrometer to explore the terahertz circular dichroism signatures of prototypical proteins in aqueous solutiom...

It was indicated that most detectors used in high-pressure liquid chromatography are optical detectors that use ultra violet, visible or laser light sources. It stands to reason that the solvents that can be used as the mobile phase for liquid chromatography must have special properties. The most important properties of the mobile phase for high performance liquid chromatography are ... 

Compelling evidence for spin-spin exchange in these diradicals has been found (p. 434), In contrast with the other radicals listed above, the ultra-violet-visible spectra of the diradicals with S = CC1=CC1 and C=C show significant rc-electron delocalization involving both of their equivalent moieties. These diradicals are also active in electron-transfer processes (pp. 368, 374). 

The interaction of platinum with DNA has been clearly established both in vitro (8-11) and in vivo (12-14), and most modelling studies indicate that, although platinum can interact with the phosphate group (15), the prime interaction is with the purine and pyrimidine bases. Ultra-violet-visible spectroscopy (16,17) nuclear magnetic resonance (18,19) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( ) studies have been interpreted to suggest that sites of attack could be...
