    Study Notes

    Instrumental Analysis (PMC 205) - Spectrophotometry (Lecture 4)

    • Lecture Objectives:
      • Understand applications of spectrophotometry in qualitative analysis
      • Understand applications of spectrophotometry in quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic compounds
      • Learn selected examples for determination of pharmaceutical compounds by spectrophotometry

    Applications of UV-VIS Spectrophotometry

    • UV-VIS spectrophotometry is widely used in chemical and clinical labs. It has many advantages, including versatile application to many organic and inorganic compounds and various biochemical species.
    • It's also easy, simple, and rapid, compared to other sophisticated techniques.
    • Spectrophotometry has high accuracy (1% to 3% relative error).
    • Selectivity is moderate to high, depending on the wavelength.
    • Spectrophotometry is highly sensitive, ranging from 10-6 to 10-4 M.

    Absorption by Organic Species

    • Organic compounds with chromophores (carbonyl, azo, nitro, conjugated diene, and aromatic rings) have characteristic absorption bands in the UV or visible range.
    • Conjugation between chromophores shifts absorption maxima to longer wavelengths and increases absorption intensity.

    Absorption by Inorganic Species

    • Absorption spectra of most inorganic ions or molecules resemble organic compounds.
    • Absorption by inorganic species depends on:
      • Oxidation state of the element
      • Position in the periodic table
      • Type of ligand bonded to the ions.
    • Many inorganic compounds are colored and absorb light in the visible region.

    Absorption by Charge-Transfer Complexes

    • Charge-transfer absorption occurs in many inorganic and organic complexes.
    • A charge-transfer complex has an electron-donor group attached to an electron-acceptor.
    • Upon light absorption, an electron transfers from the donor to an orbital in the acceptor.
    • Example: Ferric-thiocyanate complex.

    Qualitative Analysis

    • Molar absorptivity (ɛ) or specific absorbance (A) (1%-1cm) and the UV/VIS absorption spectrum help identify compounds.
    • UV spectra alone are not sufficient to confirm identity; additional data like IR, NMR, MS, solubility, melting/boiling points are needed.

    Absorption Characteristics of Common Organic Chromophores

    • A table displays different chromophores, their examples, absorption maxima (λmax), and molar absorptivity.

    Physical Constants and Spectra Data

    • The absorption spectrum is a physical constant and, along with other data (melting & boiling points, refractive index, IR, NMR, and MS), helps characterize compounds.
    • Absorption bands with specific shapes can indicate the presence of specific structural features.

    Quantitative Analysis

    • UV-visible molecular absorption spectrophotometry is a crucial quantitative analysis tool in pharmaceutical and biological fields.
    • Methods are used for both direct measurements on absorbing compounds and derivatization of non-absorbing compounds to generate absorbing products.
    • Methods also exist using various metal complex formations.
    • Determination of drug concentrations using specific wavelengths is common.

    Quantitative Determination of Inorganic Species

    • Copper is determined via ammine complex formation.
    • Determination of ferric is possible using thiocyanate charge-transfer complexes.
    • Ferrous ions can be determined via 1,10-phenanthroline complex.

    Determination of Ferrous

    • Ferrous ions are determined after reacting with 1,10-phenanthroline, forming a complex with distinctive color.
    • Calibration standards are used for finding the corresponding concentration.

    Determination of Ferrous (using 2,2'-Bipyridyl)

    • Ferrous ions react with 2,2'-bipyridyl to produce a red-colored complex, enabling quantitative determination.

    Quantitative Determination of Organic Compounds

    • Spectrophotometry determines quantities of organic substances (e.g., drugs).
    • Pharmaceuticals (tablets, capsules, ampoules, vials) and biological fluids (plasma, urine) are common analyte types.

    Requirements for Colored Products

    • Strong color for high sensitivity is required.
    • Stable products, unaffected by pH changes.
    • Rapid, quantitative reaction and must obey Beer-Lambert's law.

    Derivatizing Reagents and Examples

    • Derivatizing reagents react with the analyte to produce a colored product, improving measurements of weakly absorbing compounds.
    • 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-CI), for primary and secondary amines.
    • 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), for primary and secondary amines.
    • 1,2-Naphthoquinone-4-Sulphonic Acid Sodium Salt (NQS) for primary and secondary amines.

    Spectrophotometric Methods After Derivatization

    • Methods help detect weakly absorbing compounds by generating colored products
    • These techniques depend heavily on drug structure and functional groups.

    Diazotization and Coupling for Aromatic Amines

    • This two-step method analyzes drugs containing aromatic amines.
    • Aromatic amines first react with a diazotization reagent. This creates diazonium salts and then coupling happens with a separate reagent to form visible Azo dye.
    • Techniques are used for certain drugs.

    Metal Complex Formation

    • Metal complexation changes the color of some drugs.
    • Such effects can aid in spectrophotometric analysis using metal ions.

    Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

    • Oxidation or reduction reactions between drugs and reagents create colored reaction products.
    • The absorbance of these colored products is measurable by spectrophotometry to measure drug concentrations.
    • Example: Paracetamol oxidation using Ferricyanide, creating Prussian blue.

    Summary of Today's Learning

    • Applications of spectrophotometry in qualitative and quantitative analysis were covered.
    • Various examples on pharmaceuticals/inorganic species were discussed.
