The He1 photoelectron (PE) spectra of desmethyldiazepam, diazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, 3 4 s ) -methyldesmethyldiazepam, 3-(S);methyldiazepam, 5-methyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, and benzophenonmethylimine have been measured and analyzed. Their low-energy regions (up to 12.0 eV) have been completely assigned by the composite molecule method using the PE spectra of diphenylmethane, benzophenonmethylimine, acetamide, chlorobenzene, and acetophenonmethylimine to compare the electronic structure of equivalent parts.
