Patenaude, P. Sauvageau, C. Sandorfy Title: The assignment of bands in the ultraviolet spectrum of benz[a]anthracene Journal/Source: Spectrochim. Acta, 18 (2), 241-257, (1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0371-1951(62)80040-X Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 25000 - 46000 cm-1 (~ 217 - 400 nm) Resolution: Temperature: 83 K; 298 K Temperature dependence: yes Pressure/Concentration: Phase: in solid hydrocarbon glasses pH: Comments: The ultraviolet absorption spectra from 25000 to 46000 cm-1 of benzo[a]anthracene and of its twelve monomethyl derivatives were measured in solid hydrocarbon glasses at 83°K. The effects of temperature on the individual bands were studied. The fluorescence spectra at room temperature were also determined. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
