An apparatus is described for the recording of the far u. v. absorption spectra of transient species produced by flash photolysis. Using lithium fluoride windows, observations can be made down to 1250 Å. The flash photolysis of mercury diethyl and lead tetraethyl yield appreciable amounts of the methyl radical, and it is thought that these are formed by reaction between ethyl radicals, one of which is excited.
