✦ Synopsis

AJxtl-act

The UV-visible absorption spectrum of methylglyoxal was measured by conventional UV spectroscopic techniques (22tlA90 nm) and in separate experiments in which gas phase methylglyoxal was produced in situ by the chlorine-atom-initiated oxidation of acetol(390-470 nm). In the region where the two sets of results overlap, reasonably good agreement is observed. These results indicate considerably high cross-sections than those previously reported in the literature.
