NAME: carbonyl sulfide
FORMULA: OCS
AUTHOR(YEAR): FerroReuben(1971)
T: 376K
λ: 210-255nm
BIBLIOGRAPHY: B.M. Ferro and B.G. Reuben, "Temperature dependence of the absorption spectrum of carbonyl sulfide in quartz ultra-violet", Trans. Faraday Soc. 67, 2847-2851 (1971); DOI: 10.1039/TF9716702847
COMMENTS: Absorption measurements at 295-577 nm using a spectrophotometer fitted with a small electric furnace

Absorption coefficients k (atm, 273K)-1 cm-1 (base 10) vs. wavelength as plotted in Fig. 1 have been digitized and converted to absorption cross sections (conversion factor 8.57×10-20)

Remark: The conversion factor is deduced from Fig. 1 (absorption cross sections vs. wavelength) in the publication of

B. Leroy, G. Le Bras, and P. Rigaud, Spectres d'absorption dans l'ultraviolet de composés soufrés d'intérêt aéronomique (COS, CS2, SO3, Ann. Géophys. 37, 297-302 (1981),
