✦ Synopsis
The single crystal absorption spectra of p-benzoquinonc and toluquinone have been observed at 4.2OK for three perpendicular directions of polarization. The electronic otQins of the two n-n* transitions are located; their separation amounts to 255 cm-* inp-benzoquinone and 560 cm-l in toluquinone. The assignment of the triplet states is discussed in view of these findings.
