Title: The absorption spectrum of acetone vapor in the far ultraviolet

Journal/Source: J. Chem. Phys., 3, 131-132, (1935); doi:10.1063/1.1749617


Data: (diagram, table, disk): table

Energy/Wavelength range: 85 - 130 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 

Temperature dependence: 

Pressure/Concentration: 0.0025 - 0.15 Torr

Phase (gas, liquid, solid): vapor


Comments: The absorption spectrum of acetone has been photographed down to 850A. Discrete bands were found 
above 1300A but only continuous absorption between 1300 and 850A. The bands are described and a qualitative 
interpretation is given of the complete spectrum.
The band at 65213 cm-1 is the strongest in the whole region, being clearly developed at less than 0.0025 Torr.
