Anisoles, compared with phenols, possess similar spectral properties, except that properties determined mainly by the hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group are modified. In this way, comparison of the ultraviolet absorption spectra of phenols and anisoles permits, for example, the study of the spectral effects of hydrogen bonding and the study of steric interactions involving the hydroxy and methoxy groups.

The spectra of a number of substituted benzoic acids, acetanilides, and phenyl benzoates are discussed in terms of the electronic and steric effects of substituents.

The electronic spectra of benzaldehydes in the region 220–360 mμ are recorded and discussed in terms of previously stated hypotheses. The formyl group is shown to endow benzene derivatives with spectral properties similar to those of the acetyl group in acetophenones, except that steric interactions are slightly modified.

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of bromobenzene in various solvents, and the spectra of a series of substituted bromobenzenes in cyclohexane solution, are reported. The B-band spectral data confirm the hypotheses postulated for the B-band spectra of chlorobenzenes in the previous part of this series of papers. That is, the bromine atom usually gives rise to greater steric effects than the chlorine atom and the apparent mesomeric interaction as judged from these spectra increases with the size of the halogen substituent.Both bromobenzene and chlorobenzene C-band intensities are unusually small, and this is assumed to account for the frequent C-band similarity between the spectrum of a mono-substituted benzene derivative PhX, where X = OH, OCH3, NH2, and the spectrum of the corresponding chloro- or bromo-substituted PhX derivative.

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of a series of fluorobenzenes are determined. It is found that as a first approximation a fluoro substituent does not appreciably affect the benzenoid absorption. The spectra are discussed on the assumption that the mesomeric effect of the fluorine atom is small.

The preparations and visible and ultraviolet absorption spectra are reported for a series of copper(11) complexes with linear and cyclic aliphatic ligands which each have four nitrogen donor atoms. Data are compared with that for 16 analogous complexes. For linear polyamines of different chain length the ligand field strength, as denoted by vmax (visible), is found to increase with increasing thermodynamic stability of the copper(11) complex in aqueous solution. For linear and cyclic ligands the ligand field strength is a maximum for complexes containing a combination of five- and six-membered chelate rings.

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of a series of chlorobenzenes are determined. The spectral data suggest that the apparent mesomeric effect of the chlorine atom is greater than that of the fluorine atom, that solvent–solute interactions are generally less important in chlorobenzenes than in fluorobenzenes, and that, as expected, the effective interference radius of the chlorine atom is large. Moreover, spectral changes in o-substituted chlorobenzenes are consistent with the assumption that maximum electronic interaction requires the chlorine atom to be in the same plane as the benzene ring. The conformations of o-chloroacetophenone and o-chlorophenol are briefly discussed.

As a sequel to previous studies on the ultraviolet absorption spectra of halogen-substituted benzenes the spectra of iodobenzene in various solvents, and the spectra of a series of substituted iodobenzenes in cyclohexane solution, are reported. It is shown that these spectra can be rationalized qualitatively in terms of simple resonance theory, if the apparent mesomeric effect of the iodine atom is assumed to be greater for iodine than for the other halogen atoms.

The near-ultraviolet absorption spectra of benzylchloride vapor have been photographed on a medium quartz spectrograph. Two systems of bands have been observed, one at 37 115 cm−1 and the other at 41 748 cm−1, which correspond to B2 ↓ A1 and A1 ↓ A1 electronic transitions. The observed spectra have been analysed in terms of fundamentals and overtones.
