Extract

This investigation is to discuss some of the conditions which influence the absorption spectra of various “saturated” and “unsaturated” organic compounds. A condensed cadmium spark was used as the source of radiant energy; alcoholic solutions of the substances were employed, except for stearic acid, which was dissolved in ether. The vapours were examined in a quartz tube 200 mm. long, placed in a bath which could be heated to various temperatures.
