Photoelectron spectra of some group 4 pseudohalides and related compounds
Abstract
The photoelectron spectra of the pseudohalides RQ (R H, CH3, SiH3, GeH3, Me3Si; Q NCO, NCS, N3) have been recorded. The spectra provide a basis for semi-quantitative discussions of structure and bonding in these compounds, and are consistent with the occurrence of (π→d)π-bonding in the silicon and germanium compounds.
