Question

Note to moderator: please read the answerline carefully. Some molecular dimers can display two values of this measured quantity due to Davydov splitting. When placed in solution, PIC (“P-I-C”) chloride experiences an increase in this quantity due to supramolecular self-aggregation, (-5[1])making a structure called a J-aggregate. Shifts that increase or decrease (15[1])this non-dimensionless quantity (-5[1])are respectively named using the prefixes “batho” (15[1])and “hypso.” By counting (15[1])features (-5[1])like alkyl groups, (*) exocyclic double bonds, and bonds that extend conjugation, one can estimate this quantity with the Woodward-Fieser rules. (10[3]-5[2])When measuring concentration with Beer's law, (10[1]-5[1])you should first find this quantity (-5[1])to increase the measurement’s (10[1])signal-to-noise ratio. For 10 points, name this quantity, the color of light (10[1])that produces the biggest (10[1])signal in absorption spectra. (10[1]-5[1])■END■ (10[7]0[10])

ANSWER: maximum wavelength of absorption [or lambda-max; or the primary absorption wavelength in UV-Vis spectroscopy; accept answers that use peak, largest, biggest, or other synonyms in place of “maximum”; BEFORE “self-aggregation”, accept answers that say frequency or energy in place of the word “wavelength”, reject answers with “frequency” or “energy” after “self-aggregation”; prompt on wavelength or lambda; reject “absorbance”]
