Electron Energy Loss Spectra

Absolute oscillator strength spectra in the C 1s (280–340 eV) and F 1s (680–740 eV) regions of the perfluoro-n-alkanes from C2 to C6 and perfluorocycloalkanes from C3 to C6 have been determined from inner-shell electron energy loss spectra recorded under electric-dipole scattering conditions. The spectral features are interpreted in terms of spatially localized transitions terminating at orbitals of predominantly σ*(C—F) and σ*(C—C) character. When compared to the spectra of the perfluoro-n-alkanes, both the C 1s and F 1s spectra of the perfluorocycloalkanes exhibit additional low-lying bands which are assigned to transitions terminating at σ*(C—C) orbitals which are shifted to low energy by the combination of the strain of cyclization and the inductive effect of the fluorination. The electron transmission spectra of selected perfluorocycloalkanes (which provide information on their anion states) show as well that the electron affinities of the cyclic systems are substantially lower than those of the corresponding perfluoro-n-alkanes, again as a result of a low-lying σ* orbital in the cyclic species. Quantum chemical calculations of the alkane and perfluoroalkane ground-state orbital structures support the experimental results. The localized character of the inner-shell excitations, indicated by the constancy of both term values and oscillator strengths with increasing chain length, contrasts with the more delocalized character of the states accessed in ultraviolet excitation or negative ion formation.

Electron Energy Loss

The intramolecular vibrations of a thick epitaxial C 70(111) film on GeS (001) have been measured by high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS). A negative-ion resonant behavior is observed in the energy dependence of the impact scattering differential cross sections. These resonances are described as electronic excitation associated shape resonances, which are coincident with the electron energy loss and free-electron capture experiments. Finally, the effect of charge transfer on the resonance behavior is discussed through the comparison of bulk spectra with those from an adsorbed monolayer of C 70 on Au (110).
