Absorption spectroscopy

The FT-Raman and FT-IR spectroscopic analysis of 2'-nitroacetophenone (2NAP) were performed. The vibrational spectra of 2NAP was found by applying the Density Functional Theory Calculations based on Beck3-lee-yang-parr (B3LYP) level with the use of the standard 6-31G*/6-311+G** basis set. The vibrational wave number for the optimized geometry was calculated at the same level of theory. The computed values of frequencies are scaled using an appropriate scale factor to give up the excellent unity…

3. Results and discussion 3.1. XRD analysis The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of Sn-substituted Ni-Zn ferrites with the chemical composition of Ni0.6-x/2Zn0.4-x/2SnxFe2O4 (NZSFO) are shown in Fig. 1. The XRD spectra were indexed and fcc cubic phase was identified. The structural parameters are calculated from the XRD data and have been discussed in Ali et al [6]. The lattice constants are calculated from the XRD data and represented in Table 1. The distances between the magnetic ions at…

Paragraph 1 Compare and contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4. Haines’ research paper studies the change that occurs in the FePO4 structure as it is studied from temperatures 294K to 1073K. A transition is noticed at 980K, when it’s tetrahedral α-quartz structure experiences high pressure levels, changing the structure to β-phase, a more dense octahedral structure. Cell parameters of FePO4 in α-phase increases in cell parameters and volume as…

Molecules Project 1: Chemiluminescence Luuk Adema & Ewout van der Veer S2794640 & S2680254 luukadema@hotmail.com & ewoutvanderveer@msn.com 31-10-14 F. Mecozzi, E. Hagting & M. van Zuylen Abstract Luminol was synthesized and the light intensity of its luminescence was tested. The yield of the synthesis was 55%. Measurements of the intensity of luminescence were done under standard and optimal conditions resulting in peak intensities of ±0.02 lux (standard) and ±0.03 lux (optimal). It has been…

The ultimate purpose of this lab is to find how much copper is in brass using the visible spectroscopy, in addition to the introduction of Beer’s law, a physical law that can be utilized to determine the unknown concentration of a metal ion in a solution if its absorbance is calculated; you can accurately measure it by means of a standard graph called a calibration curve. Also colorimetry, a technique “used to determine the concentration of colored compounds in solution” (Housecroft, Catherine)…

The primary purpose of this experiment was to determine the concentration of solutions of copper (II) sulfate using visible spectrophotometry and Beer’s law. In this experiment, we used Beer’s law, which states that absorbance, i.e. the amount of light absorbed by a solution, is equal to the molar absorptivity of a compound, times the path length of the cuvette, times the concentration of the solution. First, we measured the absorbance of a cuvette filled with water, then calibrated the…

In this study, the effect of benzenethiol ligand on CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots was investigated. Conventional long-chain oleic acid (OA) and trioctylphosphine (TOP) capping ligands were partially replaced by short benzenethiol ligands, and the improvement in the luminescence performance was observed in quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LED). Approximately 1.8 fold improvement was achieved for both the maximum luminance and maximum current efficiency for the QD-LEDs fabricated with…

The purpose of this experiment was to use aldol condensation methods to synthesize colored cyclopentadienone and then UV/VIS spectrophotometry to characterize the dienone structure synthesized. The information gathered from the UV/VIS analysis was then compared to a computer model of the desired product to analyze the optimal 3D structure of the dienone. The base catalyzed condensation reaction was used to form the product for analysis, followed by vacuum filtration to recover the product. Both…

Nitrogen doping into the lattice TiO2, whether substitutional or interstitial doping can form the localized mid-gap states lying just above the valence band of TiO2, which could narrow the band gap of TiO2 and shift the absorption to the visible region as shown in the figure 1 (the red line). However, metal ion incorporated into the lattice TiO2 can introduce the intra-gab impurity state close to conduction band of TiO2 as shown in the figure 1 (the green line). Both factors…

Abstract In this paper CuO-NH-NH2 nanoparticle was synthesized and used to remove anionic dyes from single and binary systems. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the nanoparticle. Direct Red 80 (DR80) and Direct Green 6 (DG6) were used as anionic dyes. The effect of adsorbent dosage, dye concentration and pH on dye removal was evaluated. Kinetic…
