Abstract
THE absorption spectrum of benzoquinone in the vapour state between 0° C. and 100° C. in cells 5–100 cm. long has been photographed with a three-prism Steinheil glass spectrograph and a Hilger E 492 quartz spectrograph. The molecule exhibits three systems of absorption—two in the ultra-violet and one in the visible region—as does the solution spectrum1 of the substance.
