Low energy electron impact spectra of some simple alkynes
Abstract
A low energy electron impact spectrometer is described and the spectra of ethyne, propyne, but-1-yne and but-2-yne presented. The spectra are explained in terms of transitions to valence excited states and Rydberg series. One of the Rydberg series for but-1-yne is revised, and a Rydberg series is proposed for but-2-yne.
