The chromatographic separation of plant pigments is one of the most popular and visually appealing experiments encountered by young scientists when they are introduced to the principles of analytical chemistry. As such, it has found widespread application in schools, public engagement activities, and undergraduate laboratories. However, most of…

States that if photochemical reactions can be followed spectrophotometrically, reactivities can be estimated by evaluating data from only one curve. Studies such a system using computerized evaluation and simulation. Uses chlorocuprate(II) complexes in acetonitrile solutions for the model systems. (MVL)
