Clemitshaw, J. Williams, O.V. Rattigan, D.E. Shallcross, K.S. Law, R.A. Cox Title: Gas-phase ultraviolet absorption cross-sections and atmospheric lifetimes of several C2-C5 alkyl nitrates Journal/Source: J. Photochem. Photobiol. A: Chem., 102, 117-126, (1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S1010-6030(96)04458-9 Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: 270 - 340 nm Resolution: Temperature: 294 K Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: Gas-phase ultraviolet absorption cross-sections of ethyl nitrate, 1-propyl nitrate, 2-propyl nitrate, 2-methyl, 1-propyl nitrate, 1-butyl nitrate and 1-pentyl nitrate have been measured over the wavelength range 220–340 nm using a dual-beam, diode array spectrometer. For ethyl nitrate, absorption cross-sections between 280–340 nm in the tail of the near-ultraviolet band declined with decreasing temperature from 298-233 K.
