UV Spectroscopy 

UV spectroscopy, or UV-visible spectroscopy, is a type of spectroscopy that measures the absorption of ultraviolet and visible light by a sample.

UV light has a wavelength of 100-400 nm, while visible light has a wavelength of 400-700 nm.

*       Compounds with certain structures, such as conjugated double bonds, are more likely to absorb UV or visible light than other compounds.

*       UV spectroscopy can be used to determine the number of conjugated double bonds in a molecule or to study the interactions between molecules.

*       Used to Determine Purity of compound. (lmax = 1 → 100% pure)




IR Spectroscopy 

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a type of spectroscopy that measures the absorption of infrared radiation by a sample.

Infrared radiation has a wavelength of 700 nm to 1 mm.

*       Compounds with certain structures, such as functional groups, are more likely to absorb infrared radiation than other compounds.

*       IR spectroscopy can be used to identify the functional groups in a molecule or to determine the structure of a molecule.

*       IR spectroscopy can be used to study the hydrogen bonding interactions in a molecule or to study the conformation of a molecule.



NMR

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful tool that can be used to identify and characterize molecules.

It works by measuring the resonance frequencies of the nuclei in the sample when they are placed in a magnetic field.

-        NMR spectroscopy is based on the principle that the nuclei of certain atoms, such as hydrogen and carbon, have a magnetic moment. When these nuclei are placed in a magnetic field, they align themselves with the field. The frequency is known as Resonance Frequency.

*       1H NMR – Used to determine how many protons are present in the compound.

*       13C NMR – Used to determine how many Carbon atoms are present in the compound.

*       NMR can be used to determine the three-dimensional structure.



MASS 

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used to identify and characterize compounds. It works by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ions.

*       MS can be used study the interactions between molecules.

*       Used to Determine the molecular weight of compound

*       Used to develop chemical structure of isolated compound.
