Abstract (EN):
As UV-Vis spectrophotometry has been widely used for the identification and quantification of organic compounds, the aim of this text is to describe some important topics related to this theme. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis, including the direct and the derivatization procedures, are dealt with. Since, in some cases, the compounds to be analyzed are present in very low concentrations, some pretreatment sample techniques are mentioned. Additionally, different kinds of detectors used in UV-Vis spectrophotometry and the way in which mathematical approaches can be useful to extract information from the UV-Vis spectra are described. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
