We report the Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectra (NEXAFS) of a series of oxygen-containing organic molecules, namely formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, formic acid, methanol and dimethyl ether (DME), measured with high resolution at the carbon and oxygen edges. A vibrational progression has been observed at the oxygen 1s → π* resonance of formaldehyde, indicating that this state is bound with an excited state C=O stretching frequency of 136 meV. The spectra are compared with previous measurements and the applicability of the chromophore concept is tested for the functional groups present in these molecules.

In the inelastic scattering of nearly monoenergetic proton beams (≅ 20 e V) from polyatomic molecules such as CF4 sharp peaks are observed corresponding to the excitation of very high overtone levels (n ≤ 14) of the infrared active modes. The collision mechanism leading to the high degree of excitation is described and an example from recent experiments is presented. A fit of the CF4 spectra provides new anharmonicity constants for the ν3-mode.

The processes which set fundamental limits to the minimum line widths observable in photo­electron spectroscopy are outlined. An over-all limit of about 0.002 eV is deduced as the smallest attainable line w idth in ordinary circumstances. A photoelectron spectrometer is de­scribed which uses focusing deflexion in a radial electrostatic field for energy analysis. This instrum ent has energy resolution of 0.015 eV, smaller than the normal width of rota­tional envelopes in spectra of polyatomic molecules. The applications to the study of mole­cular hydrogen and oxygen is described.
