X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements of emeraldine base sul-fonated polyaniline (50 %) in comparison with chemically synthesized polyaniline base and its chloride salt. For polyaniline base a nearly symmetric N Is line centered close to 398.6 eV is observed, as expected from the idealized structure of the emeraldine base backbone. The deconvolution of the N Is core level spectrum shows two peaks with equal intensity, one centered at 398.9 eV due to amine nitrogen, the other located at 397.5 eV due to imine nitrogen atom. Both have an FWHM (full width at half maximum) of 1.6 eV. Similar results were obtained

It is therefore the right time to give a first comprehensive overview of fullerene chemistry, which is the aim of this book. This summary addresses chemists, material scientists and a broad readership in industry and the scientific community. The number of publications in this field meanwhile gains such dimensions that for nonspecialists it is very difficult to obtain a facile access to the topics of interest. In this book, which contains the complete important literature, the reader will find all aspects of fullerene chemistry as well as the properties of fullerene derivatives. After a short description of the discovery of the fullerenes all methods of the production and isolation of the parent fullerenes and endohedrals are discussed in detail (Chapter 1). In this first chapter the mechanism of the fullerene formation, the physical properties, for example the molecular structure, the thermodynamic, electronic and spectroscopic properties as well as solubilities are also summarized. This knowledge is necessary to understand the chemical behavior of the fullerenes. 

Here, the main features of the valence band results for Th02 and UO2 will be illustrated. Since a large number of publications exists in this field (especially for uranium oxides), reference will be made only to a few selected investigations, chosen for the purpose of highlighting those aspects of the oxide bond discussed previously. A very comprehensive review of these results can be found (and references therein electronic and spectroscopic properties in Refs. 109-111). Figure 21 shows the photoemission spectrum of Th02 and UO2 up to Et = 45 eV The valence band region extends to about 10 eV. The marked difference is the appearance in UO2 of a sharp and intense peak at Et =... 

There are two very broad, general conclusions resulting from the above review. The first is that MoS2-type nanoparticles are very different than other types of semiconductor nanoparticles. Nanoparticles of several different types of semiconductors, such as CdSe, CdS, and InP, have been extensively studied. Experimental and theoretical studies have elucidated much of their spectroscopy, photophysics, and dynamics. The results reviewed above are, in many places, in sharp contrast with those obtained on other types of quantum dots. This does not come as a surprise. The properties of the bulk semiconductor are reflected in those of the nanoparticle, and properties of layered semiconductors are vastly different from those of semiconductors having three-dimensional crystal structures. Although the electronic and spectroscopic properties of nanoparticles are strongly influenced by quantum confinement effects, the differences in the semiconductors cause there to be few generalizations about semiconductor quantum dots that can be made. 

There has been a considerable interest to develop metal coordination polymers due to their unique electronic and spectroscopic properties. Metal coordination polymers have been reported to have applications in nonlinear... 

Thus, the main relativistic effects are (1) the radical contraction and energetic stabilization of the s and p orbitals which in turn induce the radial expansion and energetic destabilization of the outer d and f orbitals, and (2) the well-known spin-orbit splitting. These effects will be pronounced upon going from As to Sb to Bi. Associated with effect (1), it is interesting to note that the Bi atom has a tendency to form compounds in which Bi is trivalent with the 6s 6p valence configuration. For this tendency of the 6s electron pair to remain formally unoxidized in bismuth compounds (i.e. core-like nature of the 6s electrons), the term inert pair effect or nonhybridization effect has been often used for a reasonable explanation. In this context, the relatively inert 4s pair of the As atom (compared with the 5s pair of Sb) may be ascribed to the stabilization due to the d-block contraction , rather than effect (1) . On the other hand, effect (2) plays an important role in the electronic and spectroscopic properties of atoms and molecules especially in the open-shell states. It not only splits the electronic states but also mixes the states which would not mix in the absence of spin-orbit interaction. As an example, it was calculated that even the ground state ( 2 " ) of Bij is 25% contaminated by Hg. In the Pauli Hamiltonian approximation there is one more relativistic effect called the Dawin term. This will tend to counteract partially the mass-velocity effect. 

A water molecule favors four H-bond interactions. Neutral water clusters are determined mainly by the H-bond interactions and strains between water molecules. Structures, energetics, and electronic and spectroscopic properties of small water clusters have been well investigated [13-15]. Each water molecule in... 

The LCGTO-DF method was used to calculate electronic and spectroscopic properties of the monoxides and monocarbonyls of Ni, Pd and Pt (Chung et al. 1995). Substantial relativistic effects have been found for the metal-ligand distance in the Pt compounds. At the relativistic level the Pt-O distance was calculated to be 172 pm,... 

The degree to which a certain characteristic is expressed depends considerably on the structure of the nanotube in question. The following chapters will discuss the differences between single- and multiwaUed species as well as the influence of the individual tubes geometry on their electronic and spectroscopic properties. 

Besides the electronic and spectroscopic properties of carbon nanotubes, their thermal behavior is of interest, too. Most of aU a distinct anisotropy should be observed. The thermal behavior is predominantly governed by the phonon proper-hes of the sample. With the density of phonon states being available from theoretical considerations, it is possible to compare these expectation values directly to the experimental results. Again, however, it is true that exact assignment and explana-hon of phenomena require measurements of single nanotubes whose structure has been determined. This is some challenge for the time being.

These aggregated are of particular interest because the highly ordered molecular arrangement present unique electronic and spectroscopic properties that can be predicted ( Fidder et aL, 1991 West Carroll,1966 Furuki et al., 1989 Spano Mukamel, 1989 Bohn, 1993). 

In a very general sense, Stephenson has defined the term bioprobes as. functional molecules or devices that provide information about biological systems. The high kinetic and thermodynamic stability of many organo-metallic complexes, in addition to their electronic and spectroscopic properties, have spurred their use in numerous sensor applications. Among those are sensors which involve biomolecules, or which detect biomolecules. In this chapter, only a few selected examples are presented as an introduction to the field. Organometallic biosensors are comprehensively summarized in four chapters in a recent book on bioorganometallic chemistry. A more... 

Spin-orbit interaction plays an important role in the electronic and spectroscopic properties of states arising from open-shell electronic configurations. Thus, the contribution of spin-orbit interaction to the ground state of Au is small but to Pb is large. Spin-orbit interaction not only splits the electronic state into substates but mixed states which would not mix in the absence of spin-orbit interaction. This is well illustrated by the lead atom. The ground state of the Pb atom would be P in the absence of spin-orbit... 

In this section we consider applications of relativistic quantum methods to calculations of properties of molecules containing heavy atoms. In recent years a number of authors have made relativistic calculations of the electronic and spectroscopic properties of a number of molecules using the methods outlined in the earlier section. There are excellent reviews on applications of relativistic calculations to a number of molecules "While we review some of these calculations for completeness, additional details on these calculations can be found in these reviews. In the present chapter we review more recent developments in this area. We will divide molecules into several categories and discuss the calculations in each category. Sections III.A and III.B consider homonuclear and heteronuclear diatomics, respectively, while Section III.C...
