A K−2V photoelectron spectrum of the CO molecule, showing several core-ionized core-excited states, has been recorded and the different spectral features have been interpreted in terms of their direct or conjugate nature.

The geometry relaxations due to the inner-shell excitations and ionizations have been studied by the SAC-CI method. The characteristic molecular geometry changes were predicted for the core-hole states of CH4, NH3, H2O and HF: the calculated CH bond length change agrees well with the result simulated by the observed spectrum. The C1s excitation spectrum of CH4 was also investigated for the Rydberg states of the principal quantum numbers n = 3, 4 and 5. The potential energy curves of the dipole-allowed excited states were calculated for the totally symmetric stretching mode. The vibrational structure and Franck-Condon factors for the C1s excitation spectrum were well reproduced, which shows that the equilibrium geometries of the excited states were accurately evaluated. The geometries of the inner-shell π* excited states of N2O and CO2 were also examined. The calculated geometries of these states qualitatively agreed with the experimental values of the corresponding equivalent-core molecules.

Two electronic structure descriptions, one based on orbitals and the other based on term symbols, have been implemented in a new Matlab-based program,CTM4DOC. The program includes a graphical user interface that allows the user to explore the dependence of details of electronic structure in transition metal systems, both in the ground and core-hole excited states, on intra-atomic electron–electron, crystal-field and charge-transfer interactions. The program can also track the evolution of electronic structure features as the crystal-field parameters are systematically varied, generating Tanabe–Sugano-type diagrams. Examples on first-row transition metal systems are presented and the implications on the interpretation of X-ray spectra and on the understanding of low-spin, high-spin and mixed-spin systems are discussed.

Resonant photoemission measurements show that ultrafast electron dynamics in core-excited states of large organic semiconductors depends on both the nature of the core-hole and the proximal chemical environment.

AbstractThe removal of electrons located in the core shells of molecules creates transient states that live between a few femtoseconds to attoseconds. Owing to these short lifetimes, time-resolved studies of these states are challenging and complex molecular dynamics driven solely by electronic correlation are difficult to observe. Here, we obtain few-femtosecond core-excited state lifetimes of iodine monochloride by using attosecond transient absorption on iodine 4d−16p transitions around 55 eV. Core-level ligand field splitting allows direct access of excited states aligned along and perpendicular to the ICl molecular axis. Lifetimes of 3.5 ± 0.4 fs and 4.3 ± 0.4 fs are obtained for core-hole states parallel to the bond and 6.5 ± 0.6 fs and 6.9 ± 0.6 fs for perpendicular states, while nuclear motion is essentially frozen on this timescale. Theory shows that the dramatic decrease of lifetime for core-vacancies parallel to the covalent bond is a manifestation of non-local interactions with the neighboring Cl atom of ICl.
