结合除谱,差谱,二阶差谱的二氯化铜水溶液中直接接触离子对的紫外可见吸收光谱研究

The microstructure of aqueous CuCl₂ has been studied through lots of technologies for many years; however, it remains a controversial subject. In this study, a new spectroscopic method has been proposed to analyze the UV-visible spectra of thin film of CuCl₂/H₂O solutions at different concentrations. This method is the combination of ratio spectra, difference spectra and second order difference spectra. By using this method, two new bands at ~230 and ~380 nm are obviously observed. The bands are assigned as the contacted ion pairs[CuCl₃(H₂O)_n]^- or[CuCl₄(H₂O)_n]^2-, which demonstrates that ion pairs exist in the CuCl₂/H₂O solution. Such finding agrees with the recent theoretical spectra obtained by time-dependent density functional theory. Furthermore, the populations of the contacted ion pairs are discussed. This study not only offers the direct spectroscopic evidence of[CuCl₃(H₂O)_n]^- or[CuCl₄(H₂O)_n]^2- in aqueous CuCl₂, but also suggests that the spectroscopic analysis method is powerful to extract the weak bands in a strong overlapping spectrum.
