Photoelectron spectrum, nitrogen

The photoelectron spectrum of nitrogen (N2) has several peaks, a pattern indicating that electrons can be found in several energy levels in the molecule. Each main group of lines corresponds to the energy of a molecular orbital. The additional "fine structure" on some of the groups of lines is due to the excitation of molecular vibration when an electron is expelled. 

The photoelectron spectrum of nitrogen is shown in the second illustration. There are several peaks, corresponding to electrons being ejected from orbitals of different energy. A detailed analysis shows that the spectrum is a good portrayal of the qualitative structure (as depicted in 44).

Tables 5.2 and 5.3 display vertical ionization energies of the two tautomers (keto and enol) with the lowest energies. The keto form is shown in Fig. 5.1. In the enol form, a proton is transferred from nitrogen 1 to the oxygen atom. P3 ionization energies for both isomers are close to the lowest peak in the photoelectron spectrum (PES) [44],...

An upsurge of interest in the N-methylborazines in the early 1970 s was coupled with a convenient method of synthesis and purification for these compounds The photoelectron spectrum of N-trimethylborazine has been reported. Table 6 summarizes the theoretical and experimental data comparing the location of the molecular orbitals of N-trimethylborazine with those of borazine. The HOMO is predicted and observed to be an e" (w) orbital as in borazine The methyl substitution on nitrogen destabilizes the e" and the a2 jr-orbitals, but does not signiBcantly effect the e (a) orbital. The result is a lowering of the ionization potential for electrons in the two TT-orbitals. This effect, predicted in the dieoretical calculations, was also verified experimentally. 

Variable temperature 13C NMR spectroscopy has shown that the 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexamethyl-hexahydro-l,2,4,5-tetrazine (57) is the trans isomer with the two C-methyl groups equatorial and the N-methyl groups symmetrically diaxial and diequatorial. The observed dynamic 13C NMR effects are consistent with (57a) and (57b) as the major conformation and probably (57c) as the minor one. The first coalescence represents the freezing out of (57c) while the (57a) (57b) interconversion remains fast. The nitrogen inversion barrier was found to be 32.2 kJ moF1 <79JCS(P2)98l). The He(I) photoelectron spectrum of (57) confirmed the NMR data (80JCS(P2)9l). 

Most recently, stable crystalline l,3-di(weo-pentyl)-2-silabenzimidazol-2-ylidene, 79a, and its related saturated 2,2-dihydro-l,3-di(weo-pentyl)-2-silabenzodiaminosilole, 80a, were synthesized99. 79a can be stored under nitrogen for more than a year at ambient conditions and it can be distilled or sublimed without significant decomposition". 79a was characterized by its X-ray and by the UV photoelectron spectrum which was assigned with the help of MP2/6-31G //MP2/6-31G calculations for 79b"°. 

Pyridinophane 2 has also been synthesized in a four-step procedure which includes a pyrolytic sulfur dioxide extrusion as illustrated in Scheme 15). The UV photoelectron spectrum of 2 has been studied on the basis of a pertubational molecular orbital analysis and indicates the presence of through-space and through-bond interactions between the two pyridine rings. This finding has also been substantiated by CNDO/2 calculations. In addition, there appears to be a strong interaction between the nitrogen lone pairs and the n-system of the rings 6). 

The photoelectron spectrum (PES) of [(CH3)jN]PF4 exhibits a single peak at 10.35 eV and is assigned unambiguously to ionization of the N(2p) lone-pair electrons. Comparison of PES data of several P—N bonded compounds supports the implication that the nitrogen lone pair is orthogonal to the axial P—F bonds.

Sulphur-Nitrogen Compounds.—Linear Compounds. Results from ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations on the ground states of NSF and SSO have been reported.87 The photoelectron spectra of the bent, triatomic molecules NSF, SSO, 03, S02, and NSC1 were compared and experimental details of the photoelectron spectrum of SSO presented. Pyrolysis of the tetrathiatriazyl halide S4N3X at low pressures gives the corresponding thiazyl halide XSN where X = C1 or Br but not where X = I 88... 

The photoelectron spectrum of quinazoline was measured, and had bands between 8 and 16 eV.22,23 Band assignments were proposed by comparison with the spectra of other related nitrogen heterocycles,22,23 and by estimations of the ionization potentials using molecular orbital calculations.24,25 The high-resolution He 584 A photoelectron spectra of quinazoline, 2- and 4-fluoro-, 2,4-difluoro, and hexafluoroquinazoline were measured. Fluorine substitution gave spectra from which the analysis of the bands in the parent compound was more definite.23,26 Unexpected shifts of N lone-pairs were interpreted in terms of through-space and through-bond interactions, and... 

Neither of these techniques has been much used to study the heterocycles falling within the remit of this chapter. In a rare example, the photoelectron spectrum of (13a), in which no bands exhibited any splitting, showed a lowest ionization potential of 8.55 eV (i.e. virtually identical to 1,3,5-trithianes) <89JA6745>. The absence of splitting means that the nitrogen lone pair does not interact with those on the sulfur atoms. This constitutes additional evidence that the A-methyl group adopts an axial orientation in order to avoid lone pair-lone pair repulsion and possibly allow favorable interactions.

Different choices of the primary space are shown to remedy the difficulties. In Section IIl.D the 15 to 40 eV photoelectron spectrum for nitrogen, including shake-up lines, is calculated, given the generalized definition of the EOM primary space. The peak intensities as well as peak positions are calculated.
