He(I) Photoelectron Spectrum of Methylcyclopropene Derivatives
Abstract
The Helium (I) photoelectron spectra of benzo and naptho derivatives of 1,1-diphenylmethylenecyclopropene (DPMC) are presented. A correlation of electro-chemical oxidation potentials E sub 1/2 (+) values and gas phase ionization potentials of a series of aromatic hydrocarbons is discussed. This correlation suggests that the difference in E sub 1/2 (+) values for the two DPMC derivatives is due to structure specific solvation of the radical cations . H/3 and HAM/3/CI calculations are compared with a simple structure derived analysis of the observed pe spectra. It is suggested that the effects of the fused cyclopropene grouping are to be found in small reductions of the second or higher ionization energies.
