The Photoelectron Spectra of Alcohols, Mercaptans and Amines

Abstract

Abstract The HeI photoelectron spectra of aliphatic amines, alcohols and mercaptans were measured. These spectra, especially those of methylsubstituted compounds, were interpreted in terms of the orbital energies and corresponding eigenvectors calculated by the CNDO/2 and the INDO type self-consistent field molecular orbital techniques. Modification of CNDO/2 was also performed and the results are briefly discussed.
