The quantitative determination of chlorophyll (Chl) a, Chl b, and carotenoids in a wholepigment extract of green plant tissue by UVVIS spectroscopy is complicated by the choice of sample, solvent system, and spectrophotometer used. The various plant pigments absorb light in overlapping spectral regions, depending on the system selected. This unit discusses methods used to account for such overl...

A coumarin derivative was employed for the detection of biogenic amines in buffered aqueous solution by UV-Vis or fluorescence spectroscopy. Incorporated in a polymeric matrix, the dye can also be used for the optical detection of gaseous amines.

Direct liquid crystal templating from non-ionic polyoxyethylene surfactants has been utilised to produce well-defined birefringent films of nanostructured cadmium telluride films which displayed good optical properties as evidenced by UV/VIS reflectance spectroscopy.

Novel tetraferrocenylporphyrins-containing self-assembled monolayers were prepared employing two different approaches. Self-assembled monolayers were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV) whereas their photoelectrochemical properties were investigated by photocurrent generation (PG) experiments.

Simultaneous structuro-kinetic information obtained via time resolved stopped-flow/UV-Vis spectroscopy/dispersive EXAFS (EDE) experiments elucidated a two-step process for the addition of iodobenzene to [(Ph3P)2Pd(dba)].

ABSTRACT: Camel milk contains sufficient levels of insulin and does not form the coagulum in the stomach preventing degradation of insulin and act as an effective vehicle to take the milk insulin unchanged to the intestine. In present study direct spectroscopy and standard addition method, well-known methods in analytical chemistry were used for determining insulin concentration in camel milk. ...

Sexithiophenes 1a and 1b, in which a 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl unit is incorporated as an end-capping group, were synthesised and characterised by cyclic voltammetry, absorption spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry. Additionally, their ability to function as effective luminescence quenchers for quantum dot emission was studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy and compared with the per...

1. Comparative study of carbon nanotube dispersion using surfactants Aqueous carbon nanotube dispersions were obtained by sonication tip using two cationic (DTAB and CTAB) and three anionic surfactants (SDDBS, SDS and SC). UV-Vis spectroscopy is a versatile method for characterizing the dispersion quality of CNTs in a solution. Bundles of MWCNTs are not active in the wavelength region between 2...
