Valence-Shell Ionization Potentials of Halomethanes by Photoelectron Spectroscopy. I CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH3I. Vibrational Frequencies and Vibronic Interaction in CH3Br+ and CH3Cl+

Abstract: Photoelectron spectra of methyl chloride, methyl bromide, and methyl iodide obtained with 584-Å radiation yield in each case four of the five valence-shell ionization potentials. Values of 11.29, 10.53, and 9.50 eV are obtained for the first ionization potentials, respectively, corresponding to ionization from halogen “lone-pair” orbitals. Resolved vibrational structure allows determination of frequencies of the corresponding normal vibrations of the positive ions in several cases. Relative intensities of vibr… Show more

“…With the ANO′ basis set, described below, the CASPT2 calculations gave a vertical ionization potential of 11.14 eV, in excellent agreement with experimental values of 11.17 ( 2 E 3/2 ) and 11.25 eV ( 2 E 1/2 ). 22 The CIS calculations were performed using the 6-31+G contracted Gaussian basis set 23 as well as with a 6-31+G*+2s2pd basis set, formed by adding to the 6-31+G basis set diffuse s (two), p (two), and d (one) primitive Gaussian-type functions centered on the Cl atom. The exponents of the supplemental diffuse functions were obtained by optimizing the low-lying virtual orbitals from Hartree-Fock calculations on the ground state cation of CH 3 Cl.…”

“…The A component of the effective P state (corresponding to the σ C−I bonding orbital) leads to an excited electronic state (Ã + 2 A 1 ) located 2.65 eV above theX + 2 E ground state. 4 This separation is much larger than the spinorbit splitting, so that one can assume in good approximation that¯2…”

“…He I and He II photoelectron a) Electronic mail: feme@xuv.phys.chem.ethz.ch. spectra have provided information on the vibronic structure of theX + 2 E ground state [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] from which the general features of the Jahn-Teller effect have been derived, including a qualitative understanding of the role of the spin-orbit coupling. Theoretical studies of the Jahn-Teller effect have been reported that account for the vibronic structure observed in these He I photoelectron spectra.…”
