Linear absorbance spectra for phenol in pure phenylacetylene (a) and phenol dissolved in a phenylacetylene and carbon tetrachloride mixture (b) (black curves). Also shown are fits to two and three Gaussians in a and b, respectively (blue dashed curves). The Gaussians that comprise the fits are also shown. The unfit portions of the spectral wings are most likely due to changes in the strong phenylacetylene background upon complexation that cannot be subtracted and also the light tails of the Gaussian lineshape function. Also, other sub-ensembles of complexes may be present in small amounts. Our models were only fit over the strongly peaked portions of the spectra.
