science-softCon uv/vis+ spectra data base; www.uv-spectra.de, (C) science-softCon 2019 Substance: oxalic acid Other Names: ethanedioic acid Formula: C2H2O4 CAS-No.: 144-62-7 (anhydrous) Study: uv absorption spectrum Authors: R.A. Back Title: The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of oxalic acid vapor Journal/Source: Can. J. Chem., 62, 1414-1428, (1984); https://doi.org/10.1139/v84-241 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 250 - 315 nm Resolution: Temperature: ~ 373 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: 1-3 Torr Phase: vapor pH: Comments: Low-resolution spectra show a moderately weak (epsilon(max) = 25 M-1 cm-1 at 277 nm) banded absorption system beginning at about 310 nm and extending to 250 nm where a stronger absorption begins. Medium-resolution spectra show a complex vibrational fine-structure at wavelengths above about 287 nm. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
