Hi everyone

Homework Statement



I'm looking for the molar absorption coefficient of Catechol but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help me out? I searched the internet as well as some books we have in our library, but I wasn't able to find it. Thanks for you help.

Have you asked librarians for help? They often know sources you would never think about.
 
No, I didn't do that, though I doubt they have a clue at our library at university. That value I'm looking for looks so specific, I even doubt to find anything. I wonder even why they give us such a compound during the practical training :D. I thought maybe someone got a source for this, but seems not like that's the case. I will try tomorrow then at the library.
