A Discussion on photoelectron spectroscopy - A study of the bonding in the group IV tetrahalides by photoelectron spectroscopy

Abstract

Abstract The photoelectron spectra excited by helium 21.2 eV radiation in the group IV halides, AB4, where A = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Ti and B = C1, Br, have been determined. The ionization potential data are discussed in terms of a simple molecular orbital description of the electronic structures.
