Representative members of the cyanine family of conjugated dyes. Educ. Particle in a Box : Absorption Spectrum of Conjugated Dyes Part A - Recording the Spectra and Theoretical determination of max Theory Absorption bands in the visible region of the spectrum (350 - 700 nm) correspond to transitions from the ground state of a molecule to an excited electronic state which is 160 to 280 kJ above the ground state.

Molecules of a colored object absorb visible light photons when they are excited from their http://www.chemistry.nmsu.edu/studntres/chem435/Lab5/. where: \( E \) represents the possible energy levels \( h \) is Plancks constant, \( m \) is the particles mass and \( L \) is the length of the box. The literature and experimental major wavelengths (max) absorbed for dyes 1, 2, and 3 agree within the experimental absolute uncertainty; however, the literature max absorbed for dye 4 falls outside the experimental absolute uncertainty (Table 1). The different in energy between these two levels is exactly equal to the energy a photon needs to excite the dye. Educ. Note: In the following work completely clean the cuvette between samples. A higher level means a higher potential energy. Qp$BTxr#ivv }IVEsqw2M/gVS >/_d7>/$IT~5Oh2:hb*aQuU9S^T7pP*^d51 r[WAx^). Finally, the length of the box for each dye molecule from the absorption spectra was calculated the dotted lines. In this video you will learn how to calculate the maximum wavelength of absorption for a conjugated dye using the particle in a box (PIB) model. Further, the theoretical linear regression line shows a positive linear association between the number of carbons framed by nitrogen atoms (p) and wavelength absorbed, while for experimental, the linear association breaks down when dye 4 is added (Figure 2). 61 0 obj

You may not need to know the concentration precisely andit is usually sufficient to use only a few micrograms (a single crystal) in a 3-mL cuvette, as long as the dyes maximum absorption is less than approximately 1 absorbance unit. Mathematically: Shalhoub, G. M. J. Chem. Our observation suggests that PIB is predictive only when it is applied to a homologous series, wherein all compounds in the series have similar functional groups and similar chemical properties, with the only difference here being an increase in carbon number. 1949, 17, 1198. Hence, we run the MATLAB routine on dyes 1, 2, and 3 or dyes 4, 5, and 6 only. In the experiment the length of the conjugated pi-system will be calculated for each dye from measurements of abs and Equation (11). To develop your hypothesis you must first read some articles describing the system, what is known about it, and some of the approaches that others have used to address these questions.
