Comments: Gas-phase ultraviolet absorption cross-sections of ethyl nitrate, 1-propyl nitrate, 2-propyl nitrate, 2-methyl, 1-propyl nitrate, 
1-butyl nitrate and 1-pentyl nitrate have been measured over the wavelength range 220–340 nm using a dual-beam, diode array spectrometer.
For ethyl nitrate, absorption cross-sections between 280–340 nm in the tail of the near-ultraviolet band declined with decreasing temperature 
from 298-233 K.
