Koizumi, T. Yoshimi, K. Shinsaka, M. Ukai, M. Morita, Y. Hatano, A. Yagishita, K. Ito Title: VUV-optical oscillator strength distributions of C3H6 and C4H8 isomers Journal/Source: J. Chem. Phys., 82, 4856-4861, (1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.448655 Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: ~ 40 - 120 nm Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The photoabsorption cross sections of C3H6 isomers (cyclopropane and propylene) and C4H8 isomers (1-butene, iso-butene, cis-2-butene, and trans-2-butene) have been measured in the wavelength region from 300 Å to the ionization potential of each molecule (about 1200-1400 Å). The obtained photoabsorption cross sections show a maximum value at about 700-800 Å for each molecule. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
