In order that the structural bases for the double absorption peaks of aromatic heterocyclic phenyl ketones may be distinguished, three pairs of forked conjugative systems (Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ) have been investigated by means of the rule of homologous linearity, For each pair of these series the two homologous lines have been found to pass through or to come very close to the position for the double peaks. According to the relative position of a homologous line and the location of its starting point, each of the double peaks may be assigned to the homologous series to which it should belong. Thus it provides a reliable and quantitative method for the determination of the structural basis for each of the double peaks. By applying the method of similar triangles between homologous lines as described previously, the equivalent △N_s values for the phenyl, thienyl, furyl and pyrryl groups attached directly to the carbonyl group have been calculated. This indicates that these groups all play the role of a substituent i In order that the structural bases for the double absorption peaks of the helical phenyl phenyl ketones may be distinguished, three pairs of forked conjugative systems (I, II, III) have been investigated by means of the rule of homologous linearity, For each pair of these series the two homologous lines have been found to pass through or to come very close to the position for the double peaks.
