The Gelius intensity model has been adapted in the semiempirical HAM/3 method to calculate the valence ionization energies and intensities in XPS. Both semiempirical and àb initio Hartree–Fock–Slater atomic photoionization cross-sections can be used. Results presented for C2H2, C2H4, N2, H2O, CH3OH, and CH2F2 demonstrate that the present method can facilitate the interpretation of experimental XPS.

A newly developed ultraviolet photoelectron spectrometer – CO2, laser apparatus that utilizes a 50-watt CW CO2, laser as a directed heat source is used to study the vacuum pyrolysis of 11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.02,7]undeca-2,9-diene (4). We report the HeI photoelectron spectrum of the strained cyclic allene 1,2-cyclohexadiene (1) that correlates with the HAM/3 ionization energies calculated with the optimized C2, equilibrium structure obtained with AM1 and the molecular orbital energies of the optimized C2, equilibrium structure calculated at the ab initio HF/6-31G** level of theory. Key words: 11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.02,7]undeca-2,9-diene, vacuum pyrolysis, HeI ultraviolet photoelectron spectrum, 1,2-cyclohexadiene.

The structure parameters around the Cu(I) ion in pyridine (PY), 4-methylpyridine (4MPY), 2-methylpyridine (2MPY), 2,6-dimethylpyridine (26DMPY), and acetonitrile (AN) were determined by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) method. The solvation structures of the Cu(I) ion in PY, 4MPY, and AN are 4-coordinate tetrahedral with Cu-N bond lengths of 205, 205, and 200 pm, respectively. In the case of 2MPY and 26DMPY, the Cu(I) ion has a 3-coordinate triangular structure with a Cu-N bond length of 201 pm. Such a decrease in the coordination number was interpreted in terms of the bulkiness of the solvent molecules. In order to clarify the most stable solvation structure of the Cu(I) ion, we carried out ab initio molecular orbital calculations for the solvation system of [Cu(NCH)n]+ (n = 1 - 6 ) where the steric effect is negligible. The Gibbs free energy of solvation was the smallest in the case of n = 4 and the 4-coordinate tetrahedral solvation of the Cu(I) ion was theoretically evaluated as most stable. The enthalpy of solvation monotonously decreases with increasing n, while the entropy of solvation proportionally increases. Although a larger gain of enthalpy is observed for the octahedral structure rather than the tetrahedral one, the entropic loss for the former overcomes the enthalpic gain.
