Comments: The absorption cross sections of acetone were measured between 215 and 350 nm over the temperature range of 235 
to 298 K using a diode array spectrometer. The quantum yield for the photodissociation of acetone was measured as a function of 
pressure at nine discrete wavelengths between 248 and 337 nm.
