The Near Ultraviolet Absorption Spectrum of Phenol Vapor

Abstract

The absorptionspectrum of phenol as observed with a 3‐m gratingspectrograph consisted of 330 bands. A tentative analysis is made on the basis of the fundamental ground‐state frequencies 245, 397, 527, 811, 824, and 999 and the fundamental excited‐state frequencies 208, 374, 476, 562, 783, 935, 975, 1274, and 1565. These agree well with Raman data.
