Abstract
THE energy spectra of electrons ejected in gaseous photoionization by undispersed radiation from rare gas discharges—a process known as molecular photoelectron spectroscopy1,2 or, better, spectrometry—have been found to be a rich source of fresh electronic and vibrational data on the states of the resultant ions. As usual when a new technique is being explored, improvements in experimental detail have steadily increased the amount of information accessible in a given case1–4. Alternatively the study of more complex substances has been made feasible1,2.
