Effect of Isolated Conjugated Bonds on the Ultra-Violet Visible Spectrum of a Molecule
By Sean McGavin, Alex Bindon Faculty Mentor: Dr. Leanna Giancarlo Abstract The effect of a conjugated chain’s length on the absorption peaks in ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra has been quantified, wherein increasing the chain’s length increases the absorption wavelength of the peak. However, how the peaks are shifted due to the presence of multiple isolated conjugated…
