Abstract
The absorption spectra of iodine and bromine have been measured down to about 2100A in the gas phase and in various ""inert"" solvents. The short wavelength absorption shown in normal paraffins is not found either in the gas phase or in perfluoroheptane solution. The interaction of iodine with n-heptane has been quantitatively studied in perfluoroheptane solution. The effect of foreign gases on the continuous absorption of bromine vapor has been investigated. Contrary to the results of Bayliss and Rees, no increase in absorption was observed. Attention is drawn to the properties of perfluoroheptane as an inert spectroscopic solvent.
