Conjugated dyes are known sensitizers; take care when handling the dyes and wash your hands after handling them. Therefore, if = 1, this signifies that light or any electromagnetic radiation can penetrate a significant distance into the conjugated dyes.

The majority of colors that we see result from transitions between electronic states that occur as a result of selective photon absorption. b) From the absorption spectrum of conjugated dye investigated, the wavelength of maximum absorption increases with increasing conjugation. Figure 2 shows that there is a potential energy barrier at the nitrogen atoms and there are wells at each atom; however to a reasonable degree of accuracy the potential energy of the conjugated pi-bonded system can be approximated by a particle in a box potential. The experiment showed that finding the wavelength of maximum absorbance of a conjugated dye can be used to find the empirical parameter and the length of a conjugated system within the dye.

The absorption spectrum of a series of conjugated dyes is produced by a UV/VIS spectrometer to calculate the empirical parameter and to find the length of the conjugated chain using the free electron model. 0 /St The different in energy between these two levels is exactly equal to the energy a photon needs to excite the dye. The Pauli exclusion principle and the energy levels establish the electron distribution. Suppose there were two electrons with the same set of quantum numbers (q1), then the total wave function would be (q1,q1,q3,). 9 Report the final absorption spectra for each dye you studied. You may not need to know the concentration precisely andit is usually sufficient to use only a few micrograms (a single crystal) in a 3-mL cuvette, as long as the dyes maximum absorption is less than approximately 1 absorbance unit.

IMPORTANT! The wavelength of maximum absorbance (lmax) for the cyanine family of conjugated dyes, representative members of which are shown in Table 1, has a marked dependence on the number of conjugated carbons,1,2 while some also exhibit changes in lmax with solvent polarity, dye concentration and other factors. The potential energy of a system needs to be defined to calculate the energy levels.

Abstract Particle in a one dimensional box laboratory experiments have traditionally used chemicals like polyenes or cyanine dyes as model systems. To test the robustness of the PIB model against four conjugated polymethine dyes, 1,1-diethyl-2,2-cyanine iodide (dye 1), 1,1-diethyl-2,2-carbocyanine chloride (dye 2), 1,1-diethyl-2,2-dicarbocyanine iodide (dye 3), and 1,1-diethyl-4,4-carbocyanine iodide (dye 4), I measured their absorption spectra 523 +/- 1 nm, 604 +/- 1 nm, 706 +/- 1 nm, and 706 +/- 1 nm at room temperature using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and calculated their PIB approximations and lengthening parameter gamma using an in-house MATLAB subroutine. Question: Particle In a Box Lab Help please 1.On a single graph, plot the absorbance spectra of the three dyes. When we run the routine, we see that for dye 4, the absolute percent error is 0.05% when run with dyes 5 and 6 (Table 2), versus 21.7% obtained when it is grouped with dyes 1, 2, and 3, suggesting that our hypothesis is correct.
