Photoelectron (PE) spectra of two stable carbenes 7 and 8 have been recorded and the spectra have been interpreted with the aid of eigenvalues and eigenvectors taken from Becke3LYP calculations. For the carbene series 6-8, the lone pair on the carbene carbon atom is the HOMO. The first adiabatic ionization potential (IP) of eight electronically quite different carbenes has been calculated using semiempirical PM3 and ab initio HF, Becke3LYP, and Becke3PW91 methods (3-21G(*) and 6-31+G* basis sets) as well as the CBS-4 model. For the first vertical IP, the HAM/3, Becke3LYP, and Becke3PW91 methods have been employed. CBS-4 and DFT calculations show excellent agreement with experimental values. Considering both accuracy and speed, the method of choice for the prediction of first ionization potentials of carbenes seems to be Becke3LYP/6-31+G*//Becke3LYP/3-21G(*).Key words: carbenes, electronic structure, first ionization potential, photoelectron spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculations.

Photoelectron spectra at variable temperatures demonstrate that the rate of thermal isomerization of pyrazoline-5-thione (1a) into methylthiopyrazole(s) in the gaseous phase is metal catalysed. Similar isomerizations of triazolethione (2a and 3a) are at best only slightly so.Furthermore, photoelectron spectra and MNDO calculations show that gaseous methylthiopyrazoles (1b and 1c) and methylthiotriazoles (2b and 2c) exist predominantly in planar form for the b isomer and in nonplanar form for the c isomer. The ΔH0 for the rotameric equilibria is 2.7–4.2 kJ•mol−1.

Abstract The gas-phase pyrolysis of cyclohexeno-1,2,3-selenadiazole and cycloocteno-1,2,3-selenadiazole has been investigated by variable temperature photoelectron spectroscopy and matrix IR spectroscopy. The ring contracted, highly reactive products cyclopentylidenselenoketene (cyclopentylidenmethanselone) and cycloheptylidenselenoketene (cycloheptylidenmethanselone) - which had not been found in liquid phase thermolysis experiments - have been detected. Additionally HeI photoelectron and IR spectra of analogous ketenes and thioketenes are presented for comparative reasons.

The ionization potentials of the methyl amines down to 20 eV binding energy, have been determined by photoelectron spectroscopy, and are compared with those predicted by i.n.d.o.-l.c.a.o.-s.c.f. theory. The first ionization potential for each compound refers to the removal of an electron from the lone pair, and is shown to be the one most affected by the inclusion of one center repulsion integrals in the i.n.d.o. calculations.
