Reflectance Spectra of Some Mercury (II) Compounds on Active Adsorbents

Abstract

THE well-documented hypsochromic and bathochromic shifts observed in the wave-length maxima of the transmittance spectra of many solutes can be explained in many cases on the basis of solute–solvent interactions in which the polarity of the solvent and/or solute is an important factor in determining the type and magnitude of the shift1,2.
