This document discusses various spectroscopy techniques used in inorganic chemistry, with a focus on applications of metal nanoparticles and organic ligands. It describes how surface plasmon resonance gives silver nanoparticles their color and how that color depends on particle size. It also outlines several applications of silver nanoparticles in biosensing, antibacterial materials, conductive inks, and optics. The document then discusses estimating the number of atoms and concentration of nanoparticles from absorption measurements before analyzing samples of silver and gold nanoparticles. Finally, it covers electronic transitions in organic molecules, conjugated pi systems, and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques for inorganic analysis.
