The longer wavelength band at 252-292 tun was assigned to 1Lb and CT transitions. Ionization constants, \(p\)Ka, have been determined in 60.% (v/v) ethanol-water medium at 30-±-01° and a μ of 0 1. Excellent linear correlations were obtained when \(p\)Ka values were plotted against the substituent constants, σX and σY, and against the polar subs­tituent, σ* XC6H4 and σ* YC6H4, for substituted phenyl groups. The \(p\)Ka values have been correlated with the extended Hammett equation. Also, the effect of the propor­tion as well as the nature of the solvent, e.g. ethanol, isopropanol and dioxane, on \(p\)Ka were Investigated.
