Exam II Flashcards
Radio frequency
Spin flip in magnetic field
NMR-nuclear magnetic resonance
EPR/ESR- electron paramagnetic/spin resonance
Microwave
Rotational energy (whole molecule) Microwave spectroscopy-THZ spectroscopy
IR
Vibrational energy levels (bonds) IR spectroscopy (dipole) Raman spectroscopy (non dipole)
UV-vis
Electronic energy levels (valence)
UV-vis spectroscopy (absorbance)
Fluorescence (emission)
X-ray
Electron energy levels (core e-)
X-ray fluorescence
Gamma rays
Nuclear energy levels
Boltzmann distribution
N1/n2=e^-(dE/KT) dE-difference in energy levels K- Boltzmann constant T- temperature N1/n2- ratio of amount at state 1 to 2
2 forms of spectroscopy
Absorbance/transmission
Emission
Beers law
A=€bc A- absorbance €- molar absorbtivity C- concentration B- path length
Limits to beers law
Assume chromophores don’t interact
Assumes monochromatic light
No stray light
Absorbance instrumentation
Source Monochromator Sample Detector Readout device
Emission instrumentation
Source Excitation monochromator Sample 90* Emission monochromator Detector Readout device
Optical materials
Makes up lenses, mirrors, sample containers
IR: nacl, Kbr, csi, ge, znse
Vis: glass, plastic
UV: quartz, fused silica
Spectroscopy Sources
Ir: thermal sources- nearnst glowers, nichrome wires, globar(heated wire gives off ir) Vis: tungsten lamp UV: deuterium lamp Fluorescence: xenon arc lamp (UV-vis) Lasers (emissions)
Continuum vs line source
Line- laser
Everything else is continuum
Monochromators
Prism - older - less wavelength resolution - resolution varies through spectrum - spec 20 Grating - newer, more expensive -better resolution - uniform resolution across spectrum
Spectroscopy Detectors
IR- thermal
-based on temp dependent electrical property
UV-vis- photon detectors
- amount of photons hitting detector
IR detectors
Thermocouples, bolometers, pneumatic cells (small gas filled chamber, measure expansion/contraction with dT)
UV-vis detectors
Photomultiplier tubes (photoelectric effect, older, bigger, good at low light, detect single photons)
Silicon based detectors (made from individual diodes, pn junction and DAD)
Pn junction ( little, relative e- to Si creates current)
DAD/diode array detector (measures entire spectrum simultaneously, less sensitive)
Charged coupled device/CCD (measure hv intensity)
Double beam instruments
Measure blank and sample simultaneously
Double beam in space vs. in time
Double beam in space
Monochromator sends light to reference and sample simultaneously, and to two detectors, and one read out
