The valence ionization potentials of F2O and Cl2O have been determined by photoelectron spectrometry, and the results are compared with the predictions of ab initio and approximate LCAO SCF calculations. The first PES band shows vibrational structure which is assigned to ν1 for F2O, and to both ν1 and ν2 for (Cl2O). These frequencies all show slight increases over the corresponding values for the ground states of the neutral molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
