Abstract
In the visible and near ultraviolet region of the spectrum it is customary when listing spectral data to give both the positions of band maxima and also their extinction coefficients. In contrast, in the infrared it is band positions that are quoted with precision, band intensities being reduced to a v.s., s, m, w, v.w (very strong → very weak) classification.
