Abstract
The near ultraviolet absorption spectra of the following substances have been measured in iso‐octane and ethyl alcohol solutions: pyridine, the isomeric picolines, 2‐ and 3‐fluoropyridine, 2‐ and 3‐chloropyridine, and 2‐ and 3‐bromopyridine. Solvent effects were observed and oscillator strengths were measured for the singlet‐singlet π—π* and n—π* electronic transitions which occur in the spectral region 34 000 cm‐1 to 48 000 cm‐1. It was found that in this spectral region the n—π* transition is missing in the case of 2‐fluoro‐, 2‐chloro‐ and 2‐bromopyridine.
