BIBLIOGRAPHY: K.S. Sidhu, I.G Csizmadia, O.P. Strausz, and H.E. Gunning, "The reactions of sulfur atoms. VII. The ultraviolet spectrum, the photolysis, and the mercury sensitization of carbonyl sulfide", J. Am. Chem. Soc. 88, 2412-2417 (1966); DOI: 10.1021/ja00963a009
COMMENTS: Absorptoin measurements using 10-cm long quartz cell by Cary, Model 14M, and Perkin-Elmer, Model 350, spectrophotometers

Absorption coefficients k (Torr, 273 K)-1 cm-1 (base 10) as plotted in Fig. 1 have been digitized and converted to absorption cross sections (conversion factor 6.51×10-17)

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),
