The Bonding of a Silicon Atom with a Phenyl Ring: the Photoelectron Spectrum of Phenylsilane

Abstract
The first band in the photoelectron spectrum of phenylsilane, which is caused by two ionization processes, is shifted to higher energy compared with the corresponding band in the carbon analog, toluene. In particular the highest energy orbital of phenylsilane appears to be stabilized compared to that in toluene probably due to (p → d) π bonding.
