COMMENTS: IUPAC(2021) recommendation:

The preferred values for the absorption cross-sections are based on those determined by

A. Horowitz, R. Meller, and G. K. Moortgat, The UV-VIS absorption cross sections of the a-dicarbonyl compounds: pyruvic acid, biacetyl and glyoxal, J. Photochem. Photobiol. A: Chem. 146, 19-27 2001); DOI: 10.1016/S1010-6030(01)00601-3,

which are in satisfactory agreement with the earlier data of

C.N. Plum, E. Sanhueza, R. Atkinson, W. P. L. Carter, and J. N. Pitts, Jr., "OH radical rate constants and photolysis rates of a-dicarbonyls", Environ. Sci. Technol. 17, 479-484 81983; DOI: 10.1021/es00114a008, and

V. McMillan, 1966, personal communication to J.G. Calvert, J.N. Pitts, Jr., Photochemistry, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1966, p. 422

The listed values are averaged over 1 nm and are taken from the compilation in http://www.uv-vis-spectral-atlas-mainz.org, *) which also contains data at other resolution

*) The obsolete old link for the Spectral Atlas has to be corrected
