Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy or Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry
It is used to obtain the absorbance spectra of a compound in solution or as a solid.
It uses light in the visible and adjacent (near-UV and near-infrared uses light in the visible and adjacent (near-UV and near-infrared (NIR)) ranges. The absorption or reflectance in the visible range directly affects the perceived color of the chemicals involved. ranges.
The absorption or reflectance in the visible range directly affects the perceived color of the chemicals involved.
What is actually being observed spectroscopically is the absorbance of light energy or electromagnetic radiation, which excites electrons from the ground state to the first singlet excited state of the compound or material.

The Beer-Lambert Law, is the principle behind absorbance spectroscopy. For a single wavelength, A is absorbance (unitless, usually seen as arb. units or arbitrary units), ε is the molar absorptivity of the compound or molecule in solution (M-1cm-1), b is the path length of the cuvette or sample holder (usually 1 cm), and c is the concentration of the solution (M).

There are three types of absorbance instruments used to collect UV-vis spectra: 1. Single beam spectrometer. 2. Double beam spectrometer. 3. Simultaneous spectrometer.
All of these instruments have a light source (usually a deuterium or tungsten lamp), a sample holder and a detector, but some have a filter for selecting one wavelength at a time.

The single beam instrument (Figure 1) has a filter or a monochromator between the source and the sample to analyze one wavelength at a time.

The double beam instrument (Figure 2) has a single source and a monochromator and then there is a splitter and a series of mirrors to get the beam to a reference sample and the sample to be analyzed, this allows for more accurate readings

In contrast, the simultaneous instrument (Figure 3) does not have a monochromator between the sample and the source; instead, it has a diode array detector that allows the instrument to simultaneously detect the absorbance at all wavelengths. The simultaneous instrument is usually much faster and more efficient, but all of these types of spectrometers work well.

It can give qualitative and quantitative information of a given compound or molecule. Irrespective of whether quantitative or qualitative information is required it is important to use a reference cell to zero the instrument for the solvent the compound is in.
For quantitative information on the compound, calibrating the instrument using known concentrations of the compound in question in a solution with the same solvent as the unknown sample would be required.
If the information needed is just proof that a compound is in the sample being analyzed, a calibration curve will not be necessary; however, if a degradation study or reaction is being performed, and concentration of the compound in solution is required, thus a calibration curve is needed

It works well on liquids and solutions, but if the sample is more of a suspension of solid particles in liquid, the sample will scatter the light more than absorb the light and the data will be very skewed. Most UV-vis instruments can analyze solid samples or suspensions with a diffraction apparatus (Figure 7), but this is not common. UV-vis instruments generally analyze liquids and solutions most efficiently.
