UV and X-ray photoelectron spectra of three N-heterocyclic carbenes under synchrotron radiation reveal details of their electronic structure and are used as a benchmark to test computational methods for treating core ionizations in systems with unusual electronic structures.

AbstractX-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and synchrotron radiation reflectivity and measurements in the photon energy range between 5eV and 30 eV are reported for yttrium stabilised zirconia single crystals. From the present data some behaviour of the valence band and conduction band electronic structure are elucidated. Two features present in the valence band XPS spectra, not explained on the basis of one-clectron theory, are tentatively assigned to simultaneous two electron excitation.

High-resolution synchrotron radiation x-ray absorption spectroscopy on Zn K-, Cd L3- and Te L3-edges for Cd1-xZnxTe ternary alloys with x = 0.10, 0.30, 0.50 and 0.90 are presented. A detailed analysis of the extended x-ray absorption fine structure using the IFEFFIT program, and the chemical bonds of Zn-Te are obtained, suggesting distortion of the Te sub-lattice. The x-ray absorption near-edge structure of the Zn K-, Cd L3- and Te L3-edge are investigated, and the electronic structures of Cd1-xZnxTe with various compositions are studied.

An investigation was made on the electronic structure of 4d transition metal layered oxide material of Li2RuO3 using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The intensity of O [Formula: see text] pre-edge peak increased for Li ion extracted samples, suggesting increased ligand holes. The Ru 3d XPS spectrum suggested the variation of local structure around Ru ions by extraction of Li ions. We conclude that the delithiation from Li2RuO3 is charge compensated by O anions, and that the creation of the ligand holes reorganizes electronic structures composed of highly hybridized Ru 4d and O 2p orbitals.

Photoelectron spectra of the valence, inner-valence, and core levels of CpM(CO)3 (M = Mn, Re) and CpFe(CO)2I were obtained using He I radiation and synchrotron radiation between 21 eV and 150 eV photon energies. The high-resolution Mn 3p, Fe 3p, and I 4d core level spectra are reported. Broadening of the I 4d spectrum is due to vibrational and ligand field splittings. Observation of the 3p spectra is critical to fully interpreting the np → nd resonance effect in the valence band spectra. This resonance effect is very useful for assigning the metal d orbital bands in the valence spectra. A Xα-SW calculation of CpMn(CO)3 was used to confirm the assignment of the valence and inner-valence orbitals. The experimental and theoretical branching ratios are in good agreement. The general trend of the metal d orbital ionization potentials for CpML3 (M = transition metal) complexes is also discussed. Key words: photoelectron, synchrotron radiation, CpMn(CO)3, CpRe(CO)3, CpFe(CO)2I, np → nd resonance, Xα-SW calculation.

The difficulty of wood protection from biocorrosion and fire is due to the fact that modifiers in use are washed out from the surface of the substrate under the influence of environmental factors. This results in a rapid loss of the protective effect and other practically important wood characteristics caused by the modification. To solve this problem is the aim of our work. Here, monoethanolaminoborate is used as a modifier, where electron-donating nitrogen atom provides a coordination number equal to four to a boron atom, which determines the hydrolytic stability of the compounds formed. Alpha-cellulose ground mechanically to a particle size of 1 mm at most was used as a model compound for the modification. X-ray photoelectron spectra were recorded on the XSAM-800 spectrometer (Kratos, UK). Prolonged extraction of the modified samples preceded the registration of the photoelectron spectra to exclude the fixation of the modifier molecules unreacted with cellulose. As a result of the experiment, boron and nitrogen atoms were found in the modified substrate, which indicated the hydrolytic stability of the bonds formed between the modifier molecules and the substrate. Therefore monoethanolaminoborate can be considered as a non-extractable modifier for wood-cellulose materials.
