The He(I), λ = 58.4 nm, photoelectron spectra of a series of six 2-carbonyl furans and 2-furonitrile have been measured in the gas phase. The low ionization energy bands are assigned to photoionizations from π orbitals of the furan ring, orbitals localized on the carbonyl group, and orbitals of the carbonyl substituents. Changes in ionization energies within the series can be rationalized in terms of the relative conjugative and inductive effects of the substituents. Substituent inductive effects were found to be dominant. The relatively broad vibrational fine structure on the low IE bands of the carbonyl furans could result from the presence of rotational isomers of the species. Keywords: photoelectron spectra, 2-carbonyl furans, molecular orbitals.

N K-edge near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra of imidazole in concentrated aqueous solutions have been acquired. The NEXAFS spectra of the solution species differ significantly from those of imidazole monomers in the gas phase and in the solid state of imidazole, demonstrating the strong sensitivity of NEXAFS to the local chemical and structural environment. In a concentration range from 0.5 to 8.2 mol L−1 the NEXAFS spectrum of aqueous imidazole does not change strongly, confirming previous suggestions that imidazole self-associates are already present at concentrations more dilute than the range investigated here. We show that various types of electronic structure calculations (Gaussian, StoBe, CASTEP) provide a consistent and complete interpretation of all features in the gas phase and solid state spectra based on ground state electronic structure. This suggests that such computational modelling of experimental NEXAFS will permit an incisive analysis of the molecular interactions of organic solutes in solutions. It is confirmed that microhydrated clusters with a single imidazole molecule are poor models of imidazole in aqueous solution. Our analysis indicates that models including both a hydrogen-bonded network of hydrate molecules, and imidazole–imidazole interactions, are necessary to explain the electronic structure evident in the NEXAFS spectra.

The electronic energy levels of cyclo(Glycine-Phenylalanine), cyclo(Tryptophan-Tyrosine) and cyclo(Tryptophan-Tryptophan) cyclic Glycine-Phenylalanine, Tryptophan-Tyrosine and Tryptophan-Tryptophan dipeptides are investigated with a joint experimental and theoretical ap- proach. Experimentally, valence photoelectron spectra in...

Gas phase Hel photoelectron spectra of 5ɑ-androstane, 5ɑ-androstan-3-one and 5ɑ-androstan- 17-one compared with those of other saturated cyclic hydrocarbons and ketones indicated that the electronic effect of a keto group in steroids is rather local i.e. extending over about two rings.
