Gas phase thermolysis of 2,2-dimethoxy-5,5-dimethyl- Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazoline (1) in an ultraviolet photoelectron spectrometer by means of a CW CO2 laser as directed heat source at 26 W gave a complex PE spectrum that included ionization bands belonging to acetone, tetramethoxyethylene (3), and dimethyl oxalate (4). Subtraction of the spectra of acetone, 3, and 4 from the pyrolysis spectrum of 1 left a simple PE spectrum that is attributed to dimethoxycarbene (2) along with some ethane. ecke3LYP/6-31+G* calculations gave first adiabatic and vertical ionization potentials of 2 as well as orbital energies that are in perfect agreement with experimental values. From the available experimental and calculational data, 2 is assumed to adopt a w conformation.Key words: dimethoxycarbene, 2,2-dimethoxy- Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazoline, tetramethoxyethylene, He(I) photoelectron spectroscopy, thermolysis.

Data on calculated orbital energies and experimentally measured ionization potentials of carbocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic compounds are compared and contrasted. The ordering or orbital energies and ionization potentials do not always seem to parallel one another, probably owing to either electron correlation effects, or to deviations from Koopman’s theorem. The effects on photoelectron spectra of using different light sources and analysers are discussed in relation to their bearing on the orbital orderings of aromatic compounds. The high resolution He 584 A. photoelectron spectrum of pyridine is shown to be open to two interpretations regarding the ordering of the ionization potentials of the π orbitals and the ‘nitrogen lone pair’ (n). One of the interpretations involves the three lowest pyridine ionization potentials being π (9.2 eV), π L (9.5 eV) and n (10.5 eV) whilst the other has the first three ionization potentials being the order π , n, π . The photoelectron spectra of substituted pyridines and diazines are discussed in the light of the two possible explanations for the pyridine spectrum.

The vertical ionization potentials of the β- and γ-methyl substituted allyl radicals as measured by electron impact are 8.03 ± 0.05 v. and 7.71 ± 0.05 v, respectively. From appearance potential data the following bond dissociation energies can be derived, assuming the dissociation processes to be free from complications:[Formula: see text]With assumptions about the structure of the ions produced by electron impact from the corresponding butenes the dissociation energies of the C4H7—H bonds in these latter compounds can be estimated, and the heats of formation of the corresponding radicals derived, namely:[Formula: see text]From data on the allyl halides we evaluate the heat of formation of the allyl radical to be:[Formula: see text]
