Title: The ultraviolet absorption spectra of aliphatic sulfides and polysulfides

Journal/Source: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 71 (4), 1215-1218, (1949); DOI: 10.1021/ja01172a022


Data: table, diagram

Energy/Wavelength range: 200 - 370 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 

Temperature dependence:

Pressure/Concentration: 

Phase: solution (hexane; ethanol)

pH: 


Comments: The spectra of solutions of sulfur are determined in both hexane and ethyl alcohol. Curves in the two solvents are
identical over a wide range, but differ slightly at short wavelengths.
