Abstract: | Orbital ionization energies are compared with the results of ab initio calculations for three-atomic linear BeCl2, XeF2, CrCl2 and five-atomic tetrahedral TiCl4, RuO4 molecules to investigate the effect of electron relaxation in ions on the informativity of photoelectron spectra of molecules
and complex compounds. For all compounds except CrCl2 there is satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment in respect of the sequence and character of electronic levels
and the orbital nature of chemical bonds. In the series of 3d metal tris-β-diketonates, for metal complexes of the second
half of the series there are wide discrepancies between the photoelectron, Xα-DV, and ab initio data on the electronic structure of the complexes, which are due to electron relaxation in the ions. The
calculations exaggerate the mixing of levels between the metal and ligands, since the energy splitting of the corresponding
spin-orbitals (spin polarization) considerably exceeds the multiplet splitting of states corresponding to a vacancy on the
ligand MO estimated from the photoelectron spectra.
