Emission and Absorption Spectra of NCO and NCS

Nature volume 182, pages 336–337 (1958)Cite this article

Abstract

SEVERAL polyatomic free radical spectra have been observed in fluorescence when various compounds are irradiated with Schumann ultra-violet radiation. Neuimin and Terenin1 observed the spectrum of NH2 in emission with this technique, and Style and co-workers have reported several fluorescence spectra which they have assigned to HCO (ref. 2), HCOO (ref. 3), CH3O (ref. 4) and C2H5O (ref. 4).
