Permethylated polysilanes, ionization

The investigation, which won the Frederic Stanley Kipping Award of the American Chemical Society in 1975, was based on the photoelectron spectra [2b] of both unsubstituted and permethylated (Fig. 6) polysilanes, which exhibit characteristic band patterns in their low-energy region up to 10 eV due to ionizations into radical cation states with a predominant SiSi framework...
