Klotz, I. Barnes, K.H. Becker, B.T. Golding Title: Atmospheric chemistry of benzene oxide/oxepin Journal/Source: J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans., 93(8), 1507-1516, (1997); DOI: 10.1039/A606152D Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: 230 - 480 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The gas-phase UV/VIS spectrum of benzene oxide/oxepin in the range 230-480 nm exhibits a broad, featureless absorption showing a maximum at 270 nm with an absorption cross-section of 1.14 x 10-18 cm2 molecule-1. There are indications that, in the gas phase, oxepin is present in higher concentrations than benzene oxide. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
