Photoelectron spectra of halides. Part 6.—The spectra of SF5Cl, BrF5 and IF5
Abstract
An assignment of the photoelectron spectrum of SF5Cl up to an ionization potential of 27 eV is suggested, which requires a slight modification of published assignments for SF6 but which otherwise correlates very well. Not all of the expected orbital splittings in the lower symmetry are observed. The spectra of BrF5 and IF5 are similar to that of SF5Cl; a similar assignment is proposed, and the spectra are correlated with those of SeF6, TeF6 and XeF6.
