Comments: The electronic spectra of gaseous formic acid, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate were measured in the vacuum ultraviolet 
region; new bands were found at 159, 160, and 164 nm, respectively. Their molecular extinction coefficients at the peak 
wavelengths are 2500 ~ 4200. Etyl acetate has a maximum at ~ 164 nm (epsilon ~ 3600).
