Experiment 23:
THEORY OF COLOR IN ORGANIC
COMPOUNDS;
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION
OF ORGANIC DYES
Objectives:



To synthesize azo dyes with various aryl
amines.
To study the relationship between the
extent of conjugation and the color
observed.
To study how conjugation and color are
affected by pH.
AZO DYE SYNTHESIS



Arene diazonium salts are formed by the reaction
between an aryl amine and nitrous acid (HNO2).
Since nitrous acid is unstable, it is generated in situ
by mixing sodium nitrite (NaNO2) with cold, dilute
HCl.
Arene diazonium ions are weak electrophiles in
electrophilic aromatic substitution, and will only react
with strongly activating rings.

COLOR REQUIRES THE
ABSORPTION OF LIGHT

LUMO


HOMO
Ground
State
Excited
State
Molecules absorb Visible or
UV light by promoting an
electron from the HOMO
to the LUMO.
The wavelength of light
absorbed is inversely
proportional to the energy
difference between these
orbitals: E = hc/l = hn
smaller energy gap = lower energy of light required = higher l light absorbed
ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
Colored compounds have such extended conjugated
systems that their “UV” absorptions extend into the
visible region.

Extended Conjugation
(>7 double bonds) is required for color
in organic compounds


For a substance to
have color, it must
absorb within the
400-700 nm region
of the spectrum.
Substances which
absorb near 350 nm
often ‘tail’ into the
visible region and
appear yellowish .
pH AND CONJUGATION



When base is added to a phenol, it
is converted to a phenoxide ion.
The phenoxide ion has lone electrons
which can contribute to the
resonance stabilization of the
aromatic ring.
This makes the energy gap between
the two orbitals smaller, and a
longer wavelength is absorbed,
resulting in a different color than is
observed for a neutral solution of a
dye.

DYES



Dyes are colored compounds which adhere
to the material they color.
All of the various forces of intermolecular
attraction may be involved in fixing a dye
to a fabric: ion-ion, ion-dipole, dipoledipole, London dispersion (van der Waals),
and H-bonding.
The interaction of intermolecular forces
between the fabric and the organic dye
are responsible for the intensity of the
color observed. The stronger the
interaction of IMF, the more intense the
color will appear.
