Chapter VI UV-Vis Spectroscopic….<br />

[37] studied the effects of hydrogen bonds in ADP crystallographic frame on<br />

its optical properties, such as, static polarizabilities and first<br />

hyperpolarizabilities by quantum chemical calculations.<br />

As it has been discussed in Chapter-III that amino acids are expected<br />

to interact through hydrogen bonds with KDP, which is reflected in FTIR<br />

spectra of amino acids doped KDP crystals with respect to pure KDP crystals.<br />

The increase in SHG efficiency of amino acids doped KDP crystals may be<br />

due to interaction of amino acids with KDP through hydrogen bonds. This<br />

favorable condition may be responsible for the increase in SHG efficiency on<br />

doping of amino acids.<br />

6.6 UV-Vis Spectroscopic Study<br />

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy involves electro-magnetic<br />

radiation in the UV-visible region (UV region 200-400 nm and visible region<br />

400-800 nm). The absorption in the visible ranges directly affects the color of<br />

the compound or sample involved. In this region of the electromagnetic<br />

spectrum, molecules undergo electronic transitions. UV-Vis spectroscopy is<br />

routinely used in the quantitative determination of solutions of transition metal<br />

ions and highly conjugated organic compounds. Organic compounds,<br />

especially those with a high degree of conjugation, also absorb<br />

electromagnetic radiation in the UV or visible regions of the electromagnetic<br />

spectrum [38].<br />

Different molecules absorb radiation of different wavelengths. An<br />

absorption spectrum will show a number of absorption bands corresponding<br />

to structural groups within the molecule. For example, the absorption that is<br />

observed in the UV region for the carbonyl group in acetone is of the same<br />
