Comments: The visible absorption spectrum of bromine was measured in n-hexane (a normal solvent) and in concentrated sulphuric 
acid (at room temperature and at -70° C.), phosphoric acid, and ethanol (at -70° C.) as associated solvents. The absorption continuum 
at 4150 A in the gas is displaced slightly to the red in n-hexane although other normal solvents may displace it to the violet.
The spectra in solution are between 40 and 70 % more intense than in the gas.
