Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) provides valuable information on the ionization energies of atoms and molecules. The ionization energy (IE) is given by the relation.hv = IE + T where hv is t h e energy of the radiation and T i s the kinetic energy of the electron. The IEs are directly related to the orbital energies (Koopmans' theorem). By employing UV radiation (HeI. 21.2 eV. or HeII. 40.8 eV). extensive data on the ionization of valence electrons in organic molecules have been obtained in recent years. These studies of UV photoelectron spectroscopy. originated by Turner, have provided a direct probe into the energy levels of organic molecules. Molecular orbital calculations of various degrees of sophistication are generally employed to make assignments of the PES bands. Analysis of the vibrational structure of PES bands has not only provided structural information on the molecular ions, but has also been of value in band assignments. Dewar and co-workers [1, 2) presented summaries of available PES data on organic molecules in 1969 and 1970. Turner et al. [3] published a handbook of Hel spectra of organic molecules in 1970. Since then, a few books [4-7] discussing the principles and applications of UV photoelectron spectroscopy have appeared of which special mention should be made of the recent article by Heilbronner and Maier [7]. There has, however, been no comprehensive review of the vast amount of data on the UV-PES of organic molecules published in the literature since 1970.
