ULTRAVIOLET UV SPECTROSCOPY

The organic molecule is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation of changing wavelength and the absorption of energy is recorded. The absorptions correspond to the energy required to excite an electron to a higher energy level (e.g. from an occupied orbital to an unoccupied or partially occupied orbital). 

The exact amount of UV radiation absorbed at a particular wavelength is expressed as the compound s molar absorptivity or molar absorption coefficient (e). This is a measure of the efficiency of radiation absorption and is calculated from the absorbance of radiation, which is derived from the Beer-Lambert Law.

The field of steroid analysis includes identification of steroids in biological samples, analysis of pharmaceutical formulations, and elucidation of steroid stmctures. Many different analytical methods, such as ultraviolet (uv) spectroscopy, infrared (ir) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy, x-ray crystallography, and mass spectroscopy, are used for steroid analysis. The constant development of these analytical techniques has stimulated the advancement of steroid analysis. 

Mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are techniques of structure determination applicable to all organic molecules. In addition to these three generally useful methods, there s a fourth—ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy—that is applicable only to conjugated systems. UV is less commonly used than the other three spectroscopic techniques because of the specialized information it gives, so we ll mention it only briefly. 

Ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy (Section 14.7) An optical spectroscopy employing ultraviolet irradiation. UV spectroscopy provides structural information about the extent of 7r electron conjugation in organic molecules. 

The most basic method for the determination of the methylxanthines is ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. In fact, many of the HPLC detectors that will be mentioned use spectroscopic methods of detection. The sample must be totally dissolved and particle-free prior to final analysis. Samples containing more than one component can necessitate the use of extensive clean-up procedures, ajudicious choice of wavelength, the use of derivative spectroscopy, or some other mathematical manipulation to arrive at a final analytical measurement. A recent book by Wilson has a chapter on the analysis of foods using UV spectroscopy and can be used as a suitable reference for those interested in learning more about this topic.1... 

The solubility of paclitaxel in water at 25°C at pH 7.4 is 0.172mg/L (0.2 pM), extremely low, making any separation procedure of nonencapsulated paclitaxel from DQAsomes unnecessary i.e., in an aqueous environment, only paclitaxel encapsulated in DQAsomes would stay in colloidal solution. However, for control, a paclitaxel suspension was probe sonicated under identical conditions used for the encapsulation of paclitaxel into DQAsomes, but in the complete absence of dequalinium chloride. As expected, upon centrifugation, no paclitaxel was detectable in the supernatant using ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy at 230 nm. 

The use of ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy for on-line analysis is a relatively recent development. Previously, on-line analysis in the UV-visible (UV-vis) region of the electromagnetic spectrum was limited to visible light applications such as color measurement, or chemical concentration measurements made with filter photometers. Three advances of the past two decades have propelled UV spectroscopy into the realm of on-line measurement and opened up a variety of new applications for both on-line UV and visible spectroscopy. These advances are high-quality UV-grade optical fiber, sensitive and affordable array detectors, and chemometrics. 

A major consequence of using regulatory limits based on degradant formation, rather than absolute change of the API level in the drug product, is that it necessitates the application and routine use of very sensitive analytical techniques [ 10]. In addition, the need to resolve both structurally similar, as well as structurally diverse degradants of the API, mandates the use of analytical separation techniques, for example, HPLC, CE, often coupled with highly sensitive detection modes, for example, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, fluorescence (F) spectroscopy, electrochemical detection (EC), mass spectroscopy (MS), tandem mass spectroscopy (MS-MS) and so forth. 

Ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy does not tend to be the method of choice for structure determination, but a list of UV absorptions was given in the review by Knowles <1996CHEC-II(7)489>. Fluorescence properties and triplet yields of [l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-r/ pyridazines in various solvents have been reported <2002JPH83>. These heterocyclic systems were found to be photochemically very stable. In a recent paper, Wierzchowski et al. studied the fluorescence emission properties of 8-azaxanthine ([l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-r/ pyrimidine-5,7-dione) and its A -alkyl derivatives at various pH s <2006JPH276>. For the 8-azaxanthines, an important characteristic of emission spectra in aqueous solutions was the unusually large Stokes shift. Since 8-azaxanthine is a substrate for purine nucleoside phosphorylase II from Escherichia coli, the reaction is now monitored fluorimetrically. The fluorescence properties of [l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-r/ -pyrimidine ribonucleosides were earlier described by Seela et al. <2005HCA751>. 

Ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy of fully conjugated thiepines was discussed in CHEC-II(1996) <1996CHEC-II(9)67>. In this section, the UV spectra of selected chiral thiepines together with their CD spectra are shown. 

There are numerous ways to determine experimentally pK values of chemical compounds (205). Classical methods are potentiometric titration and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, among others. These techniques have been widely applied for nucleobases and also for metal-nucleobase complexes. For the extremes such as negative pK values (pK < —2) of singly or multiply protonated nucleobases, or very high pK values (pK >15) for deprotonation of exocyclic amino groups of nucleobases (C, G, A), modifications have to be employed. These include the consideration of the Hammett acidity function in superacidic solvents or solvent mixtures (206), as well as extrapolative techniques according to Bunnett-Olsen and Marziano-Cimino-Passerini to be applied in polar, aprotic solvents (45, 207).

We now study ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, which detects the electronic transitions of conjugated systems and provides information about the length and structure of the conjugated part of a molecule. UV spectroscopy gives more specialized information than does IR or NMR, and it is less commonly used than the other techniques. 

A very large class of macrocyclic thiophene derivatives is the thiophene-modified porphyrins. Several compounds (153-157) with ter- or quaterthiophene subunits <2006OL2325, 2006OL4847, 2007CC43> have been reported. All of them have been synthesized by the classical acid-catalyzed porphyrin synthesis. Solution and solid-state structures have been investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, calculations, and X-ray structures.
