What are some Limitations of UV-Vis Spectroscopy in Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, UV-Vis spectroscopy has some limitations:
Limited Information: While it provides valuable electronic information, it may not give detailed structural insights that can be obtained from other techniques such as X-ray diffraction or NMR spectroscopy. Interference: The presence of multiple absorbing species can complicate the interpretation of spectra, leading to potential interference effects. Sample Preparation: Proper sample preparation is critical to ensure accurate measurements, and some samples may require extensive preparation.
