The electronic structure of epichlorohydrin is investigated in the whole valence region by a combined experimental and theoretical study. The issue of controversial assignments of the molecular electronic structure is here addressed. Photoelectron spectra (PES) and Threshold Photoelectron spectra (TPES) of room temperature molecules in the gas phase are recorded. Geometries and energies of the stable conformers due to internal rotation of the C-C-C-Cl dihedral angle, gauche-II (g-II), gauche-I (g-I), and cis, are calculated, and the effect of the conformational flexibility on the photoionization energetics is studied by DFT and 2h-1p Configuration Interaction (CI) methods. Strong breakdown of the Koopmans Theorem (KT) is obtained for the four outermost ionizations, which are further investigated by higher level ab initio calculations. The full assignment of the spectrum is put on a firm basis by the combination of experimental and theoretical results. The orbital composition from correlated calculations is found closer to the DFT orbitals, which are then used to analyze the electronic structure of the molecule. The Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and HOMO - 2 are n(O)/n(Cl) mixed orbitals. The nature of each valence MO is generally preserved in all the conformers, although the magnitude of the n(O)/n(Cl) mixing in HOMO and HOMO - 2 varies to some extent with the C-C-C-Cl dihedral angle. The low energy part of the HOMO PE band is predicted to be substantially affected by the conformational flexibility, as experimentally observed in the spectra. The rest of the spectrum is described in terms of the dominant conformer g-II, and a good agreement between experiment and theory is found. The inner-valence PE spectrum is characterized by satellite structures, due to electron correlation effects, which are interpreted by means of 2h-1p CI calculations.

Investigation of structure-spectroscopy-function relationship of two-dimensional J-aggregates of tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine preferentially oriented in poly-vinyl-alcohol thin films
Gulen, Demet; Atasoylu, Onur; ÖZÇELİK, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-07)
The structure-spectroscopy-function relationship of 1,1',1,3,3'-tetraethyl-5,5',6,6'-tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine (TTBC) aggregates is studied using a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques. The aggregates are macroscopically aligned in poly-vinyl-alcohol thin films by vertical spin coating. Angular dependence of the UV-Vis spectra is measured at eleven different orientations between the electric field polarization and the macroscopic alignment axis. The aggregates are characterized ...
The role of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions in dinuclear Cr(III) dithiocarbamates and a stepwise behavior of magnetic moment
AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Bayri, A. (Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2012-12-01)
In this study the role of the antiferromagnetic interactions in recently synthesized dinuclear Cr(III) complex has been investigated. Since there was not enough structural information for the characterization of the synthesis, we claim that there should be antiferromagnetic interactions between the dinuclear Fe(III) ions, if the proposed structure is the real structure. A new experiment is proposed to test the predictions of this theoretical investigation.
The electronic structure of GanPm(n+m = 5, 17, 29, 35), Ga13P4 (in SiO2) and Ga13P4 (in sodalite) clusters
Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-31)
The electronic structure of optimized GanPm(n+m=5, 17, 29, 35) isomers and Ga13P4 cluster in SiO2 matrix and sodalite cage has been studied by Hartree-Fock theory to find out the effect of cluster size and Ga-O bonds on the optical energy gap between LUMO and HOMO. It was found that the optical energy gap of Gal? clusters can be regulated by both the cluster size and the Ga-O interface satisfied by either SiO2 matrix or sodalite cage. The energy gap between LUMO and HOMO of Ga13P4 (in sodalite) cluster has ...
Structural and electronic properties of ZnmCdn microclusters: density functional theory calculations
Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2003-02-28)
The structural and electronic properties of isolated neutral ZnmCdn clusters for m + n less than or equal to 3 have been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP level. The optimum geometries, vibrational frequencies, electronic structures, and the possible dissociation channels of the clusters considered have been obtained.
The ortho- to meta- isomerization of dicarba-closo-dodecaborane
Türker, Burhan Lemi (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01)
By means of AMI(RHF) type semiempirical quantum chemical calculations, the conversion of ortho- dicarba-closododecaborane to its meta- isomer is throughly investigated by considering two intermediate structures previously proposed.
