Raymonda, L.O. Edwards, B.R. Russell Title: Vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectra of some chloroalkanes Journal/Source: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 96 (6), 1708-1712, (1974), DOI: 10.1021/ja00813a011 Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: ~ 111 - 200 nm (50000 - 90000 cm-1) Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase: vapor pH: Comments: The electronic absorption spectra of several alkyl chlorides in the energy region 50000 - 90000 cm-1 are presented with extinction coefficients. There is a weak diffuse band extending from 55000 - 60000 cm-1. The next band is centered at about 64000 cm-1. There are sharp intense bands at 71070, 71750, and 74240 cm-1.
