Jungkamp, U. Kirchner, M. Schmidt, R.N. Schindler Title: UV Absorption Cross-Section Data for the Hypochlorites ROCl (R=H, CH3, C2H5, i-C3H7, tert-C4H9) Journal/Source: J. Photochem. Photobiol. A: Chem., 91, 1-6, (1995); http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/1010-6030(95)04074-P Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: 230 - 400 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The absorption spectra of all the hypochlorites studied show a strong continuous band with maximum around lambda = 235-240 nm and a weak band centred at 310 nm. The alkyl substitution does not influence the spectral shape significantly. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
