Abstract
Photoelectron spectra are reported for the hydrides of group v and vi elements. Vibrational structure has been observed in bands associated with all but the inner-most valence orbitals. It has been used to obtain changes in bond angles or bond distances which result from the ionization of successive molecular orbitals. Ionization from the inner (la 1 ) orbitals of the hydrides has been observed using He II 304 Å+ radiation. From these data vertical ionization potentials have been derived for all the valence orbitals of the hydrides XH, XH 2 , XH 3 and XH 4 for which the corresponding united atoms are Ne, A, Kr and Xe. Graphs of these values are used to show the effects of inner shells on the valence orbitals.Keywords
