Abstract
IN continuation of previous work1, the ultra-violet (2000–5000 A.) absorption spectra of the vapours of a series of compounds containing alkyl radicals have been measured, using absorbing columns of 5–100 cm. and pressures 0·1–15 mm., except with the more volatile compounds, when pressures up to one atmosphere were employed. Extensive precautions have been taken to purify the substances studied, previous work having shown that minute traces of impurity may considerably affect the results obtained.
