Auxochromes: Definition, Characteristics, Types, and Applications

An auxochrome is a functional group that does not itself absorb light in the visible spectrum but, when attached to a chromophore, modifies the chromophore’s ability to absorb light. It enhances the absorption intensity and often shifts the wavelength of maximum absorption (λmax)​of the chromophore. Characteristics of Auxochromes 1. Functional …

Electronic Transitions

Electronic transitions are the movements of electrons between energy levels (orbitals) in a molecule or atom when they absorb or emit energy, such as photons of light. These transitions form the basis of techniques like UV-visible spectroscopy and are critical in understanding the optical and electronic properties of materials. Types …
