Abstract. Accurate absorption spectra of gases in the near–ultraviolet (300 to 400 nm) are essential in atmospheric observations and laboratory studies. This paper describes a novel incoherent broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (IBBCEAS) instrument for measuring very weak absorption spectra from 335 to 375 nm. The instrument performance was validated against the 3B1-X1A1 transition of SO2. The measured absorption varied linearly with SO2 column density and the resulting spectrum agrees well with published spectra. Using the instrument, we report new absorption cross-sections of O3, acetone, 2-butanone, and 2-pentanone in this spectral region, where literature data diverge considerably. In the absorption minimum between the Huggins and Chappuis bands, our absorption spectra fall at the lower range of reported ozone absorption cross-sections. The spectra of the ketones agree with prior spectra at moderate absorptions, but differ significantly at the limits of other instruments' sensitivity. The collision-induced absorption of the O4 dimer at 360.5 nm was also measured and found to have a maximum cross-section of ca. 4.0×10−46 cm5 molecule−2. We demonstrate the application of the instrument to quantifying low concentrations of the short-lived radical, BrO, in the presence of stronger absorptions from Br2 and O3.

Abstract Single crystal absorption spectra of tetrachloro, tetrabromo, and tetrathiocyanato complexes of Pd(II) and Pt(II) have been measured in the visible and near-ultraviolet region at temperatures between 10 K and 295 K. A spectral assignment of the observed d-d transitions based on ligand field theoretical calculations including electron-electron interaction and spin-orbit coupling is proposed which is consistent for all the systems investigated

1,2-Dicyano esters show an absorption band around 245 mμ in alcoholic solutions which is not found in non-polar and other polar solvents. This anomalous behavior has been found to be due to the unusual solvent dependence of the equilibrium between the keto and enol forms. The intensity of the absorption band in alcoholic solutions decreases with increase in concentration of the 1,2-dicyano ester, indicating association of the enol form. The keto–enol equilibrium is also found to be sensitive to the substituent R of the alcohol ROH.
