-In this experiment, the reaction of tellurium with rubidium in liquid ammonia solution was monitored
by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The reaction times for rubidium with tellurium in liquid ammonia
were turned out to be slower than those of sodium and potassium.

-In this experiment, the properties of the antiviral 7-nicotinoyl-styrylquinoline were investigated by
means of UV-Vis linear dichroism spectroscopy. Molecular samples were in stretched polyvinylalcohol
and supported by Time Dependent Density Functional Theory calculations.

of a reference sample in the study of the titanium-containing silicas by ultraviolet-visible diffuse
reflectance spectroscopy. Russian Journal of General Chemistry, 83(2), 231-237.
-Silica gel with grown titanium oxide structures were used, in which titanium had two coordination
enviromments: anatase and rutile). The experiment showed the effect of the choice of a reference
(MgO, SiO2) on the shape of the ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra and the result of their
mathematical processing.
Common Uses:
-Generally, it is used for the detection of metal ions and organic compounds.
-Specifically, it is can be used for the detection of DNA, RNA, proteins, constituents in blood serum, drug
testing and food testing.
