Containing -OH groups with non-participant electrons, water and primary alcohols, form clusters by hydrogen bonds. Mixtures of water and ethanol and their ternary solutions containing small amounts of a spectrally active substance were studied by ultrasound techniques in order to determine the coefficient of adiabatic compressibility considered as being an indicator of the strength of intermolecular interactions in hydroxy liquids. A linear dependence between the adiabatic compressibility of solution and the wavenumber in the maximum of the solute electronic absorption band was evidenced in our experiments.

The optical absorption spectra of polyaniline in the visible and UV spectral regions have been characterized before. The electrically conductive form has a band gap absorption at 3.8 eV and polaron absorptions at 2.9 and 1.5 eV [1,2] . An additional electronic absorption band at 0.9 eV was found to be also related to the existence of polaron. The assignment of this transition has yet to be made. Epstein and co-workers [31 have found a photo-induced absorption band at 0.9 eV by photo-exciting emeraldine base (insulator) with 2.0 eV light. It is not known yet whether these two 0.9 eV transitions belong to the same set of electronic energy levels of polaron, or they belong to two different electronic systems but are coincidentally have the same transition energy.
