Typically, there are two things that we look for and record from a UV-Vis spectrum. The first is \(\lambda_{max}\), which is the wavelength at maximal light absorbance. As you can see, NAD + has \(\lambda_{max} = 260\;nm\). We also want to record how much light is absorbed at \(\lambda_{max}\).

11 lut 2023 · Peaks in UV spectra tend to be quite broad, often spanning well over 20 nm at half-maximal height. Typically, there are two things that we look for and record from a UV-Vis spectrum. The first is lambda max ( λ max ) , which is the wavelength at maximal light absorbance.
This page explains what happens when organic compounds absorb UV or visible light, and why the wavelength of light absorbed varies from compound to compound. What happens when light is absorbed by molecules?
16 wrz 2016 · UV-Vis spectroscopy helps us to understand exactly how conjugation relates to the λ max of a molecule – and thus, its color (or lack thereof). For example, let’s look at what happens to λ max when we increase the conjugation length from 1 (ethene) to 2 (butadiene) to 3 (hexatriene).
Unlike IR and NMR spectra, which show many absorptions for a given molecule, UV spectra are usually quite simple—often only a single peak. The peak is usually broad, and we identify its position by noting the wavelength at the top of the peak—λ max, read as “lambda max.”
UV-VISIBLE ABSORPTION SPECTRA. This page explains what happens when organic compounds absorb UV or visible light, and why the wavelength of light absorbed varies from compound to compound.
This page takes a brief look at how UV-visible absorption spectra can be used to help identify compounds and to measure the concentrations of coloured solutions. It assumes that you know how these spectra arise, and know what is meant by terms such as absorbance, molar absorptivity and lambda-max.
