LIGHT ABSORPTION STUDIES: PART III. STRUCTURE AND LIGHT ABSORPTION OF TRISUBSTITUTED BENZENE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The spectra of a number of trisubstituted benzene derivatives which have recently been described by Doub and Vandenbelt are discussed in terms of the electronic and steric effects. The assumption of Doub and Vandenbelt, that the steric effects are usually small in absorption spectra, is criticized.
