Abstract
The far u.v. absorption band profiles of iodide dissolved in a variety of solvents have been deconvoluted using a comprehensive computer program. Several different approaches are incorporated within the overall program, including an iterative least mean squares minimization method for a combination of linear normal (Gaussian) curves, and another similar method which uses instead a linear combination of log-normal curves. The results obtained using the separate approaches demonstrate that the absorption spectra of solvated iodide are comprised of sets of band pairs arising from the 2P3/2–2P1/2 iodide radical doublet.
