3 4 ADDITIVE COLORATION: SUN Red: Longest "WHITE LIGHT" wavelength, (Contains all wavelengths of light) lower energy Yellow

Green A prism can be used to "separate" all of the different wavelengths of "visible" light as Green-Blue shown above. Blue

Violet: Shortest wavelength, highest energy

7 ADDITIVE COLORATION:

Three monochromatic radiations are selected so that they are well separated sectors can be combined to make the color in the center (ex. Green, blue and red to make white)

8 ADDITIVE COLORATION:

Two monochromatic radiations from any pair of flanking sectors can be combined to make the color in the between them (ex. Green and red to make yellow )

9 SUBTRACTIVE COLORATION:

"WHITE LIGHT" (Contains all wavelengths of light)

The eye SUN perceives this complex

Greenish-Blue mixture as ORANGE.

F IL T Greenish-Blue light selectively filtered out E R

Most colors that are prevalent throughout our environment arise from what is known as the subtractive color mixing process.

In additive coloration we saw that the mixing of all the wavelengths (of colors) in the visible spectrum give "white light".

However, if one of the components of "white light" (one wavlength, or even a narrow band of wavelengths) is removed, the color registered by the eye is the complementary color of the radiation removed (despite the fact that the light falling on the eye is still a complex mixture of wavelengths).

Example shown above: If sunlight is passed through a filter that removes a band of wavelengths in the region of 485 nm (i.e., Greenish-blue light) the eye will perceive the complementary color of greenish-blue -- i.e., orange (vice verse would be true: if only orange wavelength removed would appear greenish-blue). 10 The eye perceives this complex mixture as BLUE.

11 SUBTRACTIVE COLORATION: The eye perceives this "WHITE LIGHT" complex (Contains all mixture as wavelengths of light) YELLOW.

lemon Example shown above: When "white light" from a lightbulb or the sun hits the lemon, the pigments in the lemon absorb (filter) light (band of wavelengths) corresponding to the blue region. Hence, the remaining wavelengths of "white light" (less the blue) hit the retina of the eye.

The eye will perceive the complementary color of blue - namely yellow 12 SUBTRACTIVE COLORATION:

The eye "WHITE LIGHT" perceives this (Contains all wavelengths of light) complex mixture as GREEN. SUN

green pepper

Example shown above: When "white light" from a lightbulb or the sun hits the "green" pepper, the pigments in the pepper absorb (filter) light corresponding to the purple region. But, no wavelength corresponding to purple exists. Instead wavelengths corresponding to red and violet (both flanking the purple region) are absorbed (i.e., effectively filtered) and the remaining wavelengths will hit the retina of the eye.

The eye will perceive the complementary color of red and violet as green. 13 SUBTRACTIVE COLORATION:

"WHITE LIGHT" (Contains all The eye wavelengths of light) perceives this 8-ball as BLACK. SUN

8-ball

Example shown above: When "white light" from a lightbulb or the sun hits the "black" 8-ball, the pigments in the ball absorb (filter) light corresponding to all wavelengths (i.e., all light is absorbed). Black is the absence of color (wavelengths) hitting the retina of the eye.

The eye will perceive the absence of any color (light of any wavelength) hitting it as black. 14 SUBTRACTIVE COLORATION:

The eye "WHITE LIGHT" perceives this (Contains all complex wavelengths of light) mixture as WHITE.

White Object (baseball)

Example shown above: When "white light" from a lightbulb or the sun hits the white baseball, no light absorbs (or is filtered). Instead, all of the wavelengths are reflected and will hit the retina of the eye.

The eye will perceive this as white.

15 The eye perceives this lemon as BLACK.

ht ig l l al

Example shown above: When "white light" from a lightbulb or the sun is filtered so that only the single wavelength of light corresponding to blue is able to hit the lemon, the pigments in the lemon absorb (filter) light in the blue region. Hence, no remaining wavelengths of visible light are left to hit the retina of the eye (i.e., all wavelengths of visible light are absorbed by the lemon)

The eye will perceive this situation - with no reflected visible light 16 as black SUBTRACTIVE COLORATION:

glass cuvette with yellow "WHITE LIGHT" dissolved The eye (Contains all in colorless wavelengths of light) perceives this solvent complex mixture as YELLOW. SUN

The wavelength corresponding to blue light is absorbed by the dye in solution and not "seen" by the eye (detector)

The remaining wavelengths of visible light are transmitted through the dye in solution and "seen" by the eye (detector)

Example shown above: When "white light" from a lightbulb or the sun hits the cuvette containing a dye, the dye in solution absorb (filter) light (band of wavelengths) corresponding to the blue region. Hence, the remaining wavelengths of "white light" (less the blue) hit the retina of the eye.

The eye will perceive the complementary color of blue - namely yellow 17 SUBTRACTIVE COLORATION: (With Cyanine Dye)

The visible absorption band corresponds to the excitation of an electron from the HOMO (which is the NBMO in this case) into one of the LUMO (which is the vacant * orbital) of the chromogen.

The Green radiation matches “exactly” the energy necessary to excite and electron from the HOMO to the LUMO

The eye will perceive the complementary color of green - namely Magenta

Example shown above: When "white light" hits the dye, the dye absorbs light corresponding to the green region.

Hence, the remaining wavelengths of "white light" hit (are transmitted to) the retina of the eye. 18 max

CLASSIFICATIONS OF COLORANTS BASED ON THE ELECTRONIC ORIGIN OF THE COLORANT*

(A) Acyclic (& Cyclic) Poly-ene Chromogens (B) Donor-Acceptor Chromogens (C) Cyanine-Typce Chromogens

- There are no donors or acceptors per se'.

- Can be regarded as simply a collection of sp2 or sp-hybridized atoms in which overlap (some to complete) of all the p-orbitals occurs giving a conjugated -electron system containing as many electrons as there are p-orbitals.

- Color is simply due to the fact that conjugation is large.

- Intensities are normally good (extinction coefficients > 20,000) - Show convergence in absorption wavelengths (at about 600 nm)

THREE SUB-CLASSES OF COMPOUNDS CAN FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY: 1. Acyclic polyenes (poly-enes). 2. Non-Benzenoid Alternant Cyclic Systems 3. Polycyclic Benzenoid Compounds.

23 (A) Linear Acyclic and Cyclic Poly-ene Chromogens 2) NON-BENZENOID ALTERNANT CYCLIC SYSTEMS (PORPHYRINS)

Porphyrins are highly colored heterocyclic compounds that occur widely in nature.

The parent structure is a macrocycle containing 4 pyrrole units linked by methine bridges called a porphin. N N H Porphyrins are classified as polyene H chromogens as they contain no donor N N or acceptor groups (i.e., they resemble annulenes).

The maximum delocalization of electrons occurs about the [16]-annulene pathway shown to right: N N The system has 18 -electrons (when H 2 of the N atoms provide 2 electrons H N N each) and is therefore isoconjugate with the [16]-annulene dianion which is a (4n+2) system, therefore showing aromatic character (thus explaining in part the stability of the phorphyrins).

 Represents the largest group of Chromogens.

 The majority of commercial dyes and pigments fall into this class.

 Extinction coefficients range from 15,000 - 300,000.

 Azo dyes, Methine dyes, Azomethine dyes, and Anthraquinone dyes are examples of colorants that fall into this category.

For predictive purposes, rough rules of thumb are as follows:

1) Adding more EDGs to the donor portion or replacing an EDG of a given chromogen with a more efficient donating group will lead to a BATHOCHROMIC shift (the reverse will lead to a HYPSOCHROMIC shift). The actual location (e.g., ortho, meta, or para) of these substituents can have a critical effect on the magnitude of the shift.

3. IONIZED EDGs: The electron donor strength of a particular group can be enhance greatly by imparting a negative charge to the heteroatom. This is normally achieved by deprotonation of the grouping by a base.
