Approximate theoretical normal and resonant Auger spectra for a series of methylcyano ketones were calculated. Compared with our previous procedure, a set of initial molecular orbitals (MOs) for Auger decay probability calculations of the normal Auger process was modified by changing from a set of ground state MOs to a set of core-holed MOs. For the resonant Auger process, a set of MOs was also modified in the same manner. Furthermore, the bond dissociation factor, which we introduced in the previous article, was also calculated to estimate the bond strength after Auger decay. The site-selectivity for a series of methylcyano ketones was qualitatively explained, but a significant state-specificity was not observed. Molecular size dependence after Auger decay was also discussed.
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.
