I am studying the hydrolysis of an organometallic complex in water, for which I obtained a time dependent spectra as attached. The spectra at 0th min and 10th min dont match or have an isobestic point, however we see a possible one after 10th min to 60th minute. What can be the inference?
Hi Srividya,
I guess the structure of your complex may be changed, for instance by hydration, before hydrolysis.
1. This behavior can be due to a change in the surface chemistry of your material during hydrolysis.
2. Take FTIR and XPS spectra of these samples. It can provide further insight on the surface chemistry and bonds present.
3. Compare XPS spectra of 0min, 10min and 60min sample, similarly their FTIR spectra.
Hope this helps!
Interpretation of this UV-Visible spectra . First find out wave length of maximum absorption.It looks above 380 nm this means that compd. absorbs in the near UV region. Usually conjugated compds. show absorption above 240 nm. As absorption is above 38o nm which indicates that it is congugated compd. conaining double bonds.
