Previous assumptions that ultraviolet absorption spectra can be used to indicate the presence of ‘quinonoid’ forms in nitrodiphenylamine dyes are substantiated. These forms may, however, only occur to a significant extent during irradiation, i. e. as excited charge–transfer forms. The differences in wavelength of maximum absorption (λ max ) between ortho and para forms would indicate that differentiation between them may be possible in cases where both forms can exist.
