I. Novak et al., PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY STUDY OF ORBITAL INTERACTIONS - ETHYNYLFURANS, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 101(19), 1997, pp. 3501-3504
He I and He II photoelectron spectra (UPS) of isomeric mono- and bis(e
thynyl)furans were recorded. The assignment of spectra was based on em
pirical considerations (bandwidths, He II/He I intensity variations, c
omparison with spectra of related molecules) and ab initio calculation
s. The details of orbital interactions between the ring and ethynyl st
orbitals were deduced solely on the basis of experimental data. These
interactions were studied for several classes of it isoelectronic mol
ecules.
