The characteristic neutral and ionic spectral lines of various elements and molecular signatures of CN violet and C2 Swan band systems were observed. The relative hardness of all drug samples was measured as well. Principal component analysis, a multivariate method, was applied in the data analysis for demarcation purposes of the drug samples. The CN violet and C2 Swan spectral radiances were investigated for evaluation of a possible correlation of the chemical and molecular structures of the pharmaceuticals. Complementary Raman and Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopies were used to record the molecular spectra of the drug samples. The application of the above techniques for drug screening are important for the identification and mitigation of drugs that contain additives that may cause adverse side-effects.

  • Atomic Spectroscopy
    Atomic Spectroscopy Reference Books: 1) Analytical Chemistry by Gary D. Christian 2) Principles of instrumental Analysis by Skoog, Holler, Crouch 3) Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry by Skoog 4) Basic Concepts of analytical Chemistry by S. M. Khopkar We consider two types of optical atomic spectrometric methods that use similar techniques for sample introduction and atomization. The first is atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), which for half a century has been the most widely used method for the determination of single elements in analytical samples. The second is atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), which since the mid-1960s has been studied extensively. By contrast to the absorption method, atomic fluorescence has not gained widespread general use for routine elemental analysis. Thus, although several instrument makers have in recent years begun to offer special- purpose atomic fluorescence spectrometers, the vast majority of instruments are still of the atomic absorption type. Sample Atomization Techniques We first describe the two most common methods of sample atomization encountered in AAS and AFS, flame atomization, and electrothermal atomization. We then turn to three specialized atomization procedures used in both types of spectrometry. Flame Atomization In a flame atomizer, a solution of the sample is nebulized by a flow of gaseous oxidant, mixed with a gaseous fuel, and carried into a flame where atomization occurs. As shown in Figure, a complex set of interconnected processes then occur in the flame. The first step is desolvation, in which the solvent evaporates to produce a finely divided solid molecular aerosol. The aerosol is then volatilized to form gaseous molecules. Dissociation of most of these molecules produces an atomic gas.

  • Atomic Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet and Visible Spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
    UNIT-1 MPHYCC-10 Chemicals can be analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively through a number of different analytical methods, but one big area of analysis is by using spectroscopy. Spectroscopy studies are the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter, with the interactions giving rise to electronic excitations, molecular vibrations or nuclear spin orientations. Spectroscopy methods can be categorized depending on the types of radiation, interaction between the energy and the material, the type of material and the applications the technique is used for. There are many different types of spectroscopy, but the most common types used for chemical analysis include atomic spectroscopy, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Classifications Spectroscopy can be defined by the type of radiative energy involved. The intensity and frequency of the radiation allow for a measurable spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation is a common radiation type and was the first used in spectroscopic studies. Both infrared (IR) and near IR use electromagnetic radiation, as well as microwave techniques. Both electrons and neutrons are also a source of radiation energy due to their de Broglie wavelength. Mechanical methods can be applied to solids for radiation, and acoustic spectroscopy uses radiated pressure waves. Another way of classifying spectroscopy is by the nature of the interaction between the energy and the material. These interactions include absorption, emission, resonance spectroscopy, elastic and inelastic scattering. The materials used can also define the spectroscopy type, including atoms, molecules, nuclei and crystals. Atomic Spectroscopy Atomic spectroscopy was the first application of spectroscopy developed, and it can be split into atomic absorption, emission and fluorescence spectroscopy.

  • Atomic Emission Spectroscopy
    Chapter 9 - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Consider Figure 9.1 and the discussion of Boltzmann distribution in Chapters 2 and 7. Before continuing in this chapter, speculate on why a flame is an excellent atomizer for use in atomic absorption but is a poor atomizer for use in atomic emission. Since the signal in AES is the result of relaxation from the excited state, the intrinsic LOD of AES is a function of the population density of the excited state. The flame in AAS is not nearly as hot as the sources used in AES. Use of a flame for AES would have a significant negative impact on the LOD of AES. Thinking in terms of quantum mechanic phenomena and instrumentation, list some similarities and differences between molecular absorption and molecular luminescence spectroscopic methods (see Figure 9.1). This is an open ended question so the instructor may need to adjust expectations accordingly. Because students were asked to discuss quantum mechanic phenomena, the students should not go into details outlining the similarities in instrumentation. Similarities Differences Both measure transitions between electronic UV-vis spectroscopy involves absorption of a quantum states photon while Luminescence involves the emission of a photon. Both techniques have relatively broad spectra as the result of superimposed vibrational and In UV-vis spectroscopy, the detector is measuring rotational states upon each electronic state power from an external source. In luminescence (vibronic). spectroscopy, the detector is measuring power as the excited state analyte molecules relax to the Both techniques involve photon energies that ground state. reside in the “UV-vis” portion of the EM spectrum.
