Chromophores almost always arise in one of two forms: conjugated pi systems and metal complexes. In our case, the chromophore is a conjugated pi-bond system. In this type of chromophores, the electrons jump between energy levels that are extended pi orbitals, created by a series of alternating single and double bonds, often in aromatic systems.<ref>http://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysis/uvvisible/theory.html#top</ref>. | Chromophores almost always arise in one of two forms: conjugated pi systems and metal complexes.
