Transient photoelectron spectrum

Fig. 9 OMT bands for NiOEP, associated with transient reduction (1.78 V) and transient oxidation (—1.18 V). Data obtained from a single molecule in a UHV STM. The ultraviolet photoelectron spectrum is also shown, with the energy origin shifted (by the work function of the sample, as discussed in [25]) in order to allow direct comparison. The highest occupied molecular orbital, n, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, %, are shown at their correct energy, relative to the Fermi level of the substrate. As in previous diagrams,

The stabilization of a silicon-containing arene has not as yet been achieved. Nevertheless, silabenzene (7), 1-silatoluene (8) and hexamethyl-l,4-disilabenzene (9) have all been generated as transients.42"47 Both silabenzene and 1-silatoluene are stable when condensed in argon matrices. The UV spectrum exhibits three bands at 212, 272 and 320 nm expected for a jr-perturbed benzene. In its photoelectron spectrum, the lowest ionization energies are at 8.0, 9.3 and 11.3 eV (cfcalculated values derived by SCF methods of 8.2, 9.2 and 11.5 eV).48... 

Compounds containing B—S or B—Se Bonds.—A high-temperature reaction (1100°C) between H2S and crystalline boron produces a transient thioborine molecule, HBS.238 A photoelectron spectrum of this was obtained, showing adiabatic ionization potentials of 11.11 0.03, 13.54 0.03,... 

Femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to study the excitation of trons-stilbene above the isomerization reaction barrier [82]. Apart from the contribution, evidence of a second electronic state was found on the basis of two different transients measured across the photoelectron spectrum. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations on So, Si, S2, and Do, tt ether with simulations of the electron energy distribution, supported the experimental findings for selective photoelectron energies of the So, Si,... electronic states. The photoelectron spectra of trans-stilbene following the excitation with 266 nm laser pulses consisting of a pronounced three-peak structure were subjected to a substantia] broadening, due to the large number of closely spaced vibrational states involved in the excitation scheme. 

Figure 5.23 shows the time-resolved photoelectron kinetic energy spectra for a probe pulse polarized parallel to the pump polarization (rr-axis) and for molecules that have been transiently aligned. The spectra for ionization to the triplet state only are shown in Fig. 5.23(a). The evolution of the photoelectron spectrum is plotted in steps of 2 fs. 

More recently, substituted transient thioxosilanes have been obtained by a retro-ene reaction according to Scheme 6.3. In this study, the thermolysis of several thiosilanes such as 9a and 9b (Scheme 6.3) was examined using both high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). While monomeric (/-Pr)2Si=S (10b) was obtained from 9b and identified independently by both methods employed, 10a was not observed in the mass spectrum of the thermolysis products of 9a. Moreover, the detection of monomeric 10a by its PE spectrum was hampered by strong bands due to allene and undecomposed precursor obscuring bands assumed to stem from lOa.PH...
