“…In the following study, Abyar et al [40] used symmetryadapted cluster configuration interaction (SAC-CI) with single and double excitation operators to calculate the ionization energies and photoelectron spectra of the following sex steroids: estr-4-ene-3,17-dione, estr-5(l0)-ene-3,17-dione, progesterone, pregn-5-ene-3,20-dione, 20b-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3-one, androsta-5-ene-17-one, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, androst-5-ene-3,17-dione, androsta-l,4-diene-3,17-dione, testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone. The results of the calculations revealed a good agreement between the shifted calculated photoelectron spectra and the experimental spectra.…”
