Ionization vertical

Vertical ionization. A process whereby an electron is removed from a molecule, in its ground state or an excited state, so rapidly that a positive ion is produced without change in the positions or momenta of the atoms. The resultant ion is often in an excited state.

Experimental and calculated (CNDO/S) vertical ionization energies have been measured for pyrazol-3-ine-5-thiones (108 R = H, Me). These compounds exhibit an intense low-energy band (7.55-7.60 eV) corresponding to the ionization of both a thiocarbonyl tt-electron and the sulfur n electron (78JA1275). 

The vertical ionization potentials from the photoelectron spectra of some thiirane and thiirene derivatives are given in Table 3. A Walsh localized scheme of bonding is generally preferred. There is a strong hyperconjugative interaction in thiirene 1,1-dioxides between the occupied C=C tt-MO and the occupied SO2 pure sulfur d-AO. Thiirene oxides are suggested to be less aromatic than cyclopropenones and tropone.

The Brueckner-reference method discussed in Section 5.2 and the cc-pvqz basis set without g functions were applied to the vertical ionization energies of ozone [27]. Errors in the results of Table IV lie between 0.07 and 0.17 eV pole strengths (P) displayed beside the ionization energies are approximately equal to 0.9. Examination of cluster amplitudes amd elements of U vectors for each ionization energy reveals the reasons for the success of the present calculations. The cluster operator amplitude for the double excitation to 2bj from la is approximately 0.19. For each final state, the most important operator pertains to an occupied spin-orbital in the reference determinant, but there are significant coefficients for 2h-p operators. For the A2 case, a balanced description of ground state correlation requires inclusion of a 2p-h operator as well. The 2bi orbital s creation or annihilation operator is present in each of the 2h-p and 2p-h operators listed in Table IV. Pole strengths are approximately equal to the square of the principal h operator coefiScient and contributions by other h operators are relatively small. 

The ionization being accompanied by a vibrational excitation, the fine structure of bands can be exploited for determination of vibrational levels of an ionized system in the ground and excited states. Of course, the first (0-0) and the strongest vibrational bands are the most important because they determine adiabatic and vertical ionization potentials of radicals.

Summary Organosilicon compounds, especially those containing numerous bulky (H3C)3Si substituents, show structural distortions, hindered dynamics, and unusual molecular properties such as record low first vertical ionization energies or extreme spin and charge delocalization. 

FIGURE 4.1 Illustration of adiabatic and vertical ionization potentials. Adiabatic I.P. refers to the energy difference between the lowest quantum states of the molecule and its positive ion. Often, Franck-Condon (vertical) transitions lead to a higher value, the vertical ionization potential. 

Vertical ionization energies of the two highest molecular orbitals and of orbitals mainly localized on the substituent of a-substituted derivatives of furans, thiophenes, selenophenes, and tellurophenes have been determined.25 Assignments of some of the bands other than the first two in the photoelectron spectra of tellurophene and selenophene are proposed, and the effect of the ring on the orbitals mainly localized on the substituent is briefly discussed. 

The spectra and calculations all led to the conclusion that there is an usually large interaction between both the 7T and lone-pair orbitals in the carbonyl portion of the molecule with the n and a orbitals of the olefin portion. The first ionization potential (9.57 eV) involves ionization of an electron from the oxygen lone pair, whereas the second (11.19 eV) involves ionization of an electron from the olefin rr-bond. The most vertical ionization is from the 7 ax MO (16.11 eV), the second lone-pair orbital on oxygen.
