TTie solution phase ionization potentials of Br in 16 solvents have been determined by photoeiectron emission spectroscopic technique. The values obtained as the threshold energy E for Br" in various solvents are found to be correlated well with the Mayer-Gutmann acceptor number of solvent. The reorganization energy AC, of solvent after the photoionization of Br" has been obtained from the E value. The AG, values are well reproduced by using a simple model which incorporates the dipole-dipole repulsion and the hydrogen-bond formation in the first solvation layer. The solvation structures of Br" determined by EXAFS are used for the AG, calculation. 

The vertical ionization potential for a solvated chemical species can be the measure of its reactivity in the solution phase, especially for a single electron transfer reaction. It has been reported that the ionization potentials of anions in solution are conelated with the kinetic parameter for nucleophilic substitution reaction. This implies that an important aspect of the activation process of the reaction is a single electron transfer from anion to substrate. The ionization potential for solvated species has been available as the threshold energy E by photoeiectron emission spectroscopy for solution (PEES). This spectroscopic technique is able to provide the , values of almost any solvated species, such as organic, inorganic, cations, anions and neutral molecules in aqueous and nonaqueous solutions. 

In this study, the , values are measured by PEES for Br in 16 solvents and the reorganization energies AG, pertaining to the relaxation process after the photoeiectron emission are obtained from Ae , values. The product Br (j yj in reaction 1 still preserves the solvation structure of Br . Thus the study of AG, provides the structural and energetic... 

Calculations of the simple primary enamine, vinylamine, have shown it to be non-planar . This conclusion has been extended to tertiary enamines as well, based on the shape of bands in the photoeiectron spectra , on quantum-chemical calcula-tions and on X-ray diffraction studies of crystalline enamines (cf Chapter 1).

Figure 4 shows a typical wide-scan spectrum of as-synthesized ZnO microtubes. The photoeiectron peaks of the main elements, Zn and O, are obtained. No other impurities are detectable in the XPS spectrum. From the statistical results of XPS, the atom ratio of zinc to oxygen is about 2.67 for ZnO microtubes, which shows that ZnO microtubes are zinc-rich, that is to say, there ate many oxygen vacancies localizing in the surface of ZnO microtubes.

Rgure 1.9 Schematic diagram c the photoeiectron spectrum of nitrogen. The arrows indicate the energies of photoeiectrons that are emitted without vibrationai excitation... 

Photoeiectrons can be emitted from three different energ> levels in the nitrogen molecule, labelled A, B and C. The other peaks appearing in the spectrum are caused by vibrational excitation of the nitrogen molecule ion that is formed. This reduces the kinetic energy of the photoeiectrons because it takes additional energy to make the ion vibrate, and therefore these peaks all appear to the left of the principal peaks. 

Q Photoeiectrons emitted from nitrogen gas exposed to helium-I radiation (wavelength = 58.43 nm) have kinetic energies of 5.63, 4.53 and 2.50 eV. These energies correspond to formation of without vibrational excitation. Calculate the photon energy of the He-I radiation in units of electronvolts, and hence determine the ionization energies of the electron states from which the photoeiectrons originate, also in electronvolts.
