The low ionization energy regions of the photoelectron (He I) spectra of several p-p′-substituted thiobenzophenones (X-C6H4)2CS and of the corresponding S-oxides (sulphines) (XC6H4)2CSO (where X = H , OCH3, CH3, I, Br, Cl and NO2) have been assigned on the basis of perturbational molecular orbital theory arguments coupled with CNDO/2 computations and substituent effects. For the thioketones, the ordering of the outermost MO's results to be n(S), π7, π6, π5/π4, π3, n(S) being the HOMO; while for the sulphines the two outermost MO’s have π character and correspond to π7 and π6 in the thioketones.In the light of the above results the different behaviour toward oxidation of these two classes of compounds can be rationalized.

Ab initio molecular orbital theory is used to study substituent effects in a series of substituted ethyl anions, XCH2CH2- (X = Li, BeH, BH2, CH3, NH2, OH and F). All substituents stabilize the anion relative to the corresponding neutral ethane. For electronegative substituents (NH2, OH and F) as well as CH3, this stabilization is achieved through enhanced hyperconjugative donation from the occupied 2p(C-) orbital to a vacant π*(CH2X) or π*(CH2) orbital; electropositive groups (Li, BeH and BH2) stabilize the anion primarily by 1,3-overlap between the occupied 2p(C-) orbital and the vacant 2p(X) orbital where such an interaction is possible. The importance of 1,3-interactions contrasts with the situation for cations XCH2CH2+ in which hyperconjugative interactions appear to be dominant.
