Alkyl inductive effects on molecular ionization potentials—XV n-alkanes

Photoelectron spectroscopy of azo compounds

“…The ffi's used in this correlation are those tabulated by Levitt and coworkers, and these have been found to give excellent linear correlations with the ionization potentials of a great variety of compounds. 48 Particularly relevant to our discussion are the correlations found for amines:49 7V(1) (alkylamines) = 9.62 + 13.8 !…”
