Six bands have been observed in the magnetic rotation spectrum of acrolein at 4040, 4069, 4122, 4178, 4220, and 4322 Å. The first five bands are assigned to the 3A″–1A′ (π*–n) transition of trans acrolein with the 0–0 band at 4122 Å. The sixth band at 4322 Å is assigned as the 0–0 band of the 3A″–1A′ (π*–n) transition of the cis (or gauche) isomer. The 3A″ state of the cis (or gauche) isomer lies below the corresponding state of the trans isomer by a similar interval to that found earlier for the 1A″ (π*–n) states. The reverse situation exists for the ground states.The absorption spectrum has also been reinvestigated using up to 30 m atm of gas in a cell heated to 180 °C. New assignments are given for some of the bands.

A survey of the magnetic rotation spectrum (MRS) of formaldehyde in the near ultraviolet is reported. The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] bands of the [Formula: see text] system are also studied under high resolution. The rR and pP branches of these bands are found to be active and it is noted that the intensities appear to increase more rapidly with increasing Ka in the MRS than in the absorption spectrum. The 43 and 61 levels are in Coriolis interaction at higher Ka values, and some rR branches of the [Formula: see text] band are identified.Several strong lines in the MRS are shown to be associated with rR, rP, pR, and pP lines in the absorption spectrum and to reveal the presence of singlet–triplet perturbations. Only one perturbed rotational level is found in the [Formula: see text] band, but for the [Formula: see text] band several rotational levels are found to exhibit such perturbations, e.g. 190,19, 191,19, 171,16, 102,8, 102,9, 112,9, 173,14, 173,15, 183,15, and 183,16. These perturbations are produced by ΔJ = ΔN = ΔKa = 0 interactions with the 415161 level of the ã3A2 state and by ΔJ = ΔN = 0. ΔKa = ± 1 interactions with the 5161 level. The matrix elements are of the order of 0.01–0.10 cm−1.

The absorption spectrum of acrolein-d1 (CH2=CH∙CDO) has been studied in the region 3900 to 4400 Å with path lengths and pressures up to 10 m atm and temperatures from 25 to 160 °C. This study provides additional information for the interpretation of the vibrational structure observed in the 3A″–1A′ (trans), 1A″–1A′ (cis), and 3A″–1A′ (cis) systems of acrolein, in addition to new information for acrolein-d1. Most of the features in these spectra are now assigned.

NMR was used to investigate the reaction of cis- and trans-[RuCl2(DMSO)4] with the antiviral drug acyclovir, a guanine derivative containing the acyclic (2-hydroxo) ethoxymethyl pendant linked to N(9). Studies were performed in aqueous solutions at ambient temperature and at 37 °C, and at various molar ratios. Both isomers yielded two compounds, a monoadduct and a bisadduct, the relative yields being dependent upon the metal to ligand concentration ratios. The products derived from the two Ru isomers displayed identical NMR spectra, suggesting that they have the same coordination environment, however the rate of formation of the monoadduct was higher in the case of the trans isomer than in the case of the cis isomer, while the rate of conversion of the monoadduct into the bisadduct appeared to be similar in both cases. As a consequence in the case of the trans isomer there is accumulation of monoadduct in the early stage of the reaction, whose concentration afterwards decreases with the progress of the reaction. As for platinum, also for ruthenium the preferred binding site is N(7) of the purine base, however, in the case of ruthenium a discrete amount of bisadduct is formed even in the presence of an excess of metallic substrate with respect to the acyclovir ligand; under similar conditions a platinum substrate would have given, nearly exclusively, the monoadduct.

X-ray absorption fine structure XAFS spectroscopy has been used to determine the valence system for the Fe atom in ilmenite, FeTiO3 . This is the first XAFS data in FeTiO3 to our knowledge. The α- Fe2O3 data served as the standard in determining the ionization of the Fe atom in FeTiO3 . Observation of intensity and k-space are consistent. There was no evidence of mixed valence on comparing the FeTiO3 near edge X-ray absorption spectrum with α- Fe2O3 data. The absorption spectra suggest that iron is in the trivalent state in ilmenite.

The absorption spectra of visual purple solutions extracted by various means were measured with a sensitive photoelectric spectrophotometer and compared with the classical visual purple absorption spectrum. Hardening the retinas in alum before extraction yielded visual purple solutions of much higher light transmission in the blue and violet, probably because of the removal of light-dispersing substances. Re-extraction indicated that visual purple is more soluble in the extractive than are the other colored retinal components. However, the concentration of the extractive did not affect the color purity of the extraction but did influence the keeping power. This suggests a chemical combination between the extractive and visual purple. The pH of the extractive affected the color purity of the resulting solution. Over the pH range from 5.5 to 10.0, the visual purple color purity was greatest at the low pH. Temperature during extraction was also effective, the color purity being greater the higher the temperature, up to 40°C. Drying and subsequent re-dissolving of visual purple solutions extracted with digitalin freed the solution of some protein impurities and increased its keeping power. Dialysis against distilled water seemed to precipitate visual purple from solution irreversibly. None of the treatments described improved the symmetry of the unbleached visual purple absorption spectrum sufficiently for it to resemble the classical absorption spectrum. Therefore it is very likely that the classical absorption spectrum is that of the light-sensitive group only and that the absorption spectra of our purest unbleached visual purple solutions represent the molecule as a whole.

The effect of intrinsic point defects on the electronic structure and absorption spectra of ZnO was investigated by first-principle calculation. Among the intrinsic point defects in ZnO, oxygen vacancies [Formula: see text] and interstitial zinc [Formula: see text] have the lower formation energy and the more stable structure under zinc(Zn)-rich condition, whereas zinc vacancies [Formula: see text] and interstitial oxygen [Formula: see text] have the lower formation energy and the more stable structure under oxygen(O)-rich condition. The band gap of [Formula: see text] becomes narrow and the absorption spectrum has a redshift. In the visible region, the photo-excited electron transition of [Formula: see text] is graded from the valence band top to the impurity level and then to the conduction band bottom, showing the redshift of absorption spectrum of [Formula: see text] and explaining the reason of [Formula: see text] forming a deep impurity levels in ZnO. Moreover, the impurity energy level of [Formula: see text] coincides with the Fermi level, indicating the significant trap effect and the slow recombination of electrons and holes, which are conducive to the design and preparation of novel ZnO photocatalysts. The band gap of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] broadened and the absorption spectrum showed blueshift, explaining the different values of the ZnO band gap width.


When two solutions are mixed the absorption spectrum of the new solution will be the mean of those of the separate solutions provided that no chemical interaction occures. The mere fact of a departure from additivity does not, however, necessarily denote the formation of true chemical compounds. The solute or solutes may undergo solvation, loosely bound aggregates may occur, and even when marked deviations from the simple law of mixtures are observed it is rarely possible to prove the quantitative formation of a given chemical compound from spectroscopic data alone. The above considerations apply with some force to the problem of the absorption spectra of halogens and inter-halogen compounds in an inert solvent. The three elements show perfectly characteristic absorption bands, they are known to interact with the formation of some quite stable compounds, some relatively stable compounds, and some apparently very unstable compounds.


Having undertaken the investigation of the absorption spectra of metals in a state of vapour, the first substance examined was mercury, and as the results are interesting I have deemed it advisable to make them a separate communication to the Society. F. P. le Roux describes the vapour of mercury as having a bluish colour, and according to R. J. Strutt, it transmits a feeble steel-blue colour, but the absorption coefficient is small. Experimental.—The substance to be volatilised was contained in a flask of Heraeus’ quartz-glass, with a side tube to the neck from which the metal may be distilled and condensed. To the side tube a water-jacket is fitted through which a constant stream of water may be passed if necessary. The rays from the condensed spark of a pair of lead-cadmium and tin-cadmium electrodes were passed through the flask and on to a cylindrical condensing lens of quartz which focussed the rays on to the slit of a quartz spectrograph.
