Gas-phase generation and UV photoelectron spectroscopy studies of diaminogermylenes
Résumé
Ionization potentials (IPs) are the real fingerprint of the electronic structure of molecules, and the combination of flash vacuum thermolysis reactions with ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, supported by theoretical study, is a very efficient method of using these IPs to characterize different reactive intermediates in the gas phase. We report here the first direct evidence by UV photoelectron spectroscopy of saturated, cyclic diaminogermylene 2.
