Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of some transition-metal diethyldithiocarbamates

Abstract
He(I) photoelectron spectra of the diethyldithiocarbamates of CrIII, FeIII, CoIII, NiII, CuII, and ZnII are reported, and a tentative assignment is proposed. ‘d’-Orbital ionization is observed as early and distinct bands for the complexes of Cr, Co, and Ni, while the bands in the 7.5–9.5 eV region, present in all the complexes and related to the known spectrum of NMe2·CS·SMe, probably arise from the following sequence of molecular orbitals of the chelate rings, π3 > σM–S(n) > π2 > σM–S(n+), mainly derived from sulphur 3p atomic orbitals.
