Experiment 3: UV-Vis Absorption Spectrometer Simulator & a Library of Compounds
Background
A library of compounds in solution can be prepared in a virtual flask and examined using the absorption spectrometer simulator. Everything from simple aromatics, food dyes & biological stains through to transition metal complexes. Supervisors can make up complex mixtures (up to 4 different components) and allocate to individual students. Teachers & supervisors also have the freedom to incorporate the simulator & library of compounds into their own existing laboratory experiments if desired.
