Ab initio LCAO-MO-SCF calculations suggest that reaction of HO-(or MeO-) with silane should proceed through a stable trigonal bipyramidal adduct. Reaction of alkoxide anions with a variety of alkylsilanes in an i.c.r. spectrometer leads to (i) nucleophilic displacement reactions, (ii) stable adducts, (iii) decomposing adducts which collapse to tetrahedral anions by elimination of a neutral molecule, and (iv) proton abstraction reactions. The nucleophilic displacement reaction between MeO- and Me3SiR has been used to produce a variety of R- species, including the allyl, propargyl and benzyl anions. The reactions of these ions with methyl nitrite have been used to show that (i) the benzyl anion does not undergo benzylic hydrogen/phenyl hydrogen scrambling prior to reaction, (ii) the allyl anion reacts as a symmetrical species, and (iii) that hydrogen scrambling does not occur in the propargyl anion, and that C3H3- may either react as HC≡C-CH2- or -HC=C=CH2.

Abstract Ab initio SCF calculations of the X1A1 ground states of P4S3 and As4S3 are reported, together with configuration interaction studies of the 2 A1, 2 A1, 2 A2 and 2 E states of P4S3. A re-interpretation of the UV-photoelectron spectrum of the P4S3 molecule, and As4S3 by analogy, is presented and it is noted that Koopmans′ theorem yields a very similar order and spacing between groups to the doublet states computed by configuration interaction.

The photoelectron spectra of the tautomeric 1,2,3,- and 1,2,4-triazole and 1,2,3,4-tetrazole systems have been compared with the corresponding N-methyl derivatives. The dominant tautomers in the gas phase have been identified as 2 H-1,2,3-triazole, 1 H-1,2,4-triazole and 2H-tetrazole.Full optimisation of the equilibrium geometry by ab initio molecular orbital methods leads to the same conclusions, for relative stability of the tautomers in each of the triazoles, but the calculations wrongly predict the tetrazole tautomerism.

Threshold photoelectron–photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the decay dynamics of the valence electronic states of the parent cation of several hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), based on fluorine-substituted ethane, in the energy range 11–25 eV. We present data for CF 3– CHF 2, CF 3– CH 2 F , CF 3– CH 3 and CHF 2– CH 3. The threshold photoelectron spectra (TPES) of these molecules show a common feature of a broad, relatively weak ground state, associated with electron removal from the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) having mainly C–C σ-bonding character. Adiabatic and vertical ionisation energies for the HOMO of the four HFCs are presented, together with corresponding values from ab initio calculations. For those lower-energy molecular orbitals associated with non-bonding fluorine 2pπ lone pair electrons, these electronic states of the HFC cation decay impulsively by C–F bond fission with considerable release of translational kinetic energy. Appearance energies are presented for formation of the daughter cation formed by such a process (e.g. CF 3– CHF +), together with ab initio energies of the corresponding dissociation channel (e.g. CF 3– CHF + + F ). Values for the translational kinetic energy released are compared with the predictions of a pure-impulsive model.
