Abstract
The fine structure of the X-ray photoelectron and O-4,O-5(Th) X-ray emissio n spectra of the low-energy (0 ... similar to 50 eV) electrons of thorium i n ThO2 and ThF4 is studied. It is established that both outer (0 ... simila r to 15 eV) and inner (15 ... similar to 50 eV) valence molecular orbitals, which are mostly due to the Th6p and O(F)2s shells of the neighboring thor ium atoms and ligands, are formed in these compounds.
