shorter wavelengths of the point where a temperature increase had very little effect (actually a small decrease in absorption, as would be expected) Ribaud found that the absorption began again to increase with temperature. This evidently is the continuous absorption due to the higher vibrational states. For photochemical reactions the important consequence is that in such molecules one must expect the portion of the temperature coefficient due to light absorption to decrease with decreasing wavelength from the first appreciable absorption, but to pass through a minimum slightly less than unity, and then again to increase sharply to the disappearance of absorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
