Radical ions of some 9-substituted anthracene derivatives have been prepared in polymer film by γ-irradiation at 77 K. By use of the polarized absorption spectra of these radical ions, the absorption spectra have been resolved into two components (resolved spectra), the transition moments of which are polarized parallel to the molecular long and short axes, respectively. Correlation of the characteristic absorption bands is discussed briefly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
