The ionization potentials of a number of methyl-substituted benzenes and cyclopentadienes have been measured by electron impact. The experimental results are compared to calculations based on a group orbital method.

Previously reported experimentally determined ionization potentials of substituted benzenes are well correlated by the sum of the para substituent constants, regardless of the orientation of the substituents. σ+ is better than σ for this purpose. Tri-through hexasubstituted benzenes are also correlated, but the slope and intercept are higher in accord with electrostatic theory. These results in support of recent MO calculations indicate that substituent constants are good measures of the energy of the highest occupied orbital.

Ionization potentials of substituted ethylenes, trans-1-substituted propenes, and several sets of substituted carbonyl derivatives have been correlated with the extended Hammett equation. The electrical effect in the case of the ethylenes and propenes is characterized by a value of ε ≈ 2.0, whereas the carbonyl derivatives show values of ε in the range 0 to 0.4. This difference in the composition of the electrical effect is ascribed to loss of a π electron from the ethylenes and propenes and of an n electron from the carbonyl derivatives. For purposes of comparison, several sets of ionization potentials of substituted benzenes were also correlated with the extended Hammett equation. Values of ε ranged from 1 to 3; thus the substituted benzenes are comparable in their behavior to the ethylenes and propenes.
