The absorption spectra of benzene, naphthalene, azulene, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), pyrene, and fluoroanthene were measured in liquid perfluoro-n-hexane (PFn-H) in the range 35,000 to 65,000 cm/sup -1/ and in liquid n-pentane (n-Pt) in the range 35,000 to 59,000 cm/sup -1/, using a 150-..mu..m-thick cell. The absorption spectra in PFn-H show more structure than those in n-Pt and because they are extended in the Rydberg transition region may be used to separate Rydberg from core transitions in the gaseous spectra of the molecules studied. The transmission spectra for PFn-H, n-Pt, and some of the most commonly used hydrocarbon solvents are presented also. 5 figures, 6 tables.
