COMMENTS: IUPAC(2021) recommendation:

The preferred absorption cross-sections at 296 K are taken from the most recent data (200-335 nm) of

J.F. Brewer, J D. K. Papanastasiou, J. B. Burkholder, E. V. Fischer, Y. Ren, A. Mellouki, and A. R. Ravishankara, Atmospheric photolysis of methyl ethyl, diethyl, and propyl ethyl ketones: Temperature‐dependent UV absorption cross sections, J. Geophys. Res. Atmospheres 124, 5906-5918 (2019); DOI: 5910.1029/2019JD030391,

extended to 355 nm by the measurements of

R.D. Martinez, A. A. Buitrago, N. W. Howell, C. H. Hearn, and J. A. Joens,The near UV absorption spectra of several aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, Atmos. Environ. 26A, 785-792 (1992); DOI: 10.1016/0960-1686(92)90238-G

Brewer et al. provide an expression to calculate cross-sections (230-335 nm) at different temperatures, σ(λ,T), using a two-state model with the following expression, which was validated with their experimental data:

σ(λ,T) = X0σ0 + X1σ1,

where X0 = (1+exp (-2474.696/T))-1, X1 = 1- X0 and T is the temperature in Kelvin

Wavelength dependent values of σ0 and σ1 are listed in the table along with the room temperature cross-sections
