The photoelectron spectra of trimethylsilyl phenyl ketone and phenyl tert-butyl ketone are presented and analyzed in terms of their constituent orbitals. A hyperconjugative interpretation for the low energy ionization potentials of the acyl silanes is postulated. A combination of p.e. spectroscopy and u.v. data are used to infer the level of the LUMO in these systems and to construct a partial energy level diagram.

Highest Occupied Molecular Orbitals

The He(I) photoelectron spectra of succinonitrile (1) and glutaronitrile (2), both with extensive overlap of ionization bands in the low-energy region, are reported. To assign ionizations, we studied the conformational behaviour and resulting ionization energy dependence of 1 and 2 computationally with the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) model chemistry based on the fact that it reliably reproduces the ionization potentials of eleven mono- and di-nitriles, both saturated and unsaturated. The correlation of proton affinities with observed ionization potentials of 1, 2, and malononitrile establishes the orbital sequence of four C≡N π orbitals followed by two nitrogen lone pair orbitals as the highest occupied molecular orbitals for all three compounds.Key words: photoelectron spectrum, ionization potential, conformational dependence, nitrile, DFT.

Symmetry Properties

Chapter 7 illustrates the results obtained by applying the Schrödinger equation to a simple pedagogical quantum system, the particle in a one-dimensional box. The wave functions are seen to be sine waves; their wavelengths are evaluated and used to calculate the quantized energies via the de Broglie relation. An energy-level diagram of some of the energies is constructed; on it are illustrations of the corresponding wave functions and probability distributions. The wave functions are seen to be either symmetric or antisymmetric about the midpoint of the line representing the box, thereby providing a lead-in to the later exploration of certain symmetry properties of multi-electron atoms. It is next pointed out that the Schrödinger equation for this system is identical to Newton’s equation describing the vibrations of a stretched musical string. The different meaning of the two solutions is discussed, as is the concept and structure of linear superpositions of them.

Electron Correlation Effects

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.
