The electronic structure of UCl6: Photoelectron spectra and scattered waveXagr; calculations

摘要

Heliumthinsp;iandiiexcited photoelectron (p.e.) spectra of UC16are reported. Experimental ionization energies agree well with those predicted by a quasirelativistic scattered waveXagr; calculation; further support for the proposed assignments is provided by a consideration of intensity patterns in the spectra. Attention is ultimately focused on the relationship between ionization energies and charge transfer electronic excitation energies in hexahalo complexes. Further experimental work is required to establish an assignment for the electronic absorption spectrum of UC16.
