Abstract
Experimental valence ionisation energies of 143 hydrocarbons, CnHm, have been determined from their He (IIα) (40.80 eV) and He (Iα) (21.22 eV) excited photoelectron spectra. Ionization energies, usually up to 26 eV are given in tabular form for 108 hydrocarbons with n≤6, together with their (tentative) assignment. The ionization energies up to approximately 25 eV, of 35 selected hydrocarbons with 7≤n≤10, are presented by means of their He (IIα) photoelectron spectra.

Cyclopropenes and methylenecylopropanes as multifunctional reagents in transition metal catalyzed reactions

TL;DR: The use of transition metal catalysts allows an effective control of their transformations enabling highly selecitive syntheses ranging from three-to seven-membered carbocycles as mentioned in this paper.

Long-Range Electron Tunneling

TL;DR: Experimental investigations of electron exchange between redox partners separated by molecular bridges have elucidated many fundamental properties of these reactions, particularly the variation of rate constants with distance, and theoretical work has provided critical insights into the superexchange mechanism of electronic coupling between distant redox centers.

Correlation effects in the ionization of hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral intensity for ionization as a function of binding energy for the valence electrons of ethylene, allene, butatriene, trans-butadiene, acetylene, benzene, methane, ethane, and cyclopropane is computed by a manybody Green's function method.

Time-resolved dissociative intense-laser field ionization for probing dynamics: Femtosecond photochemical ring opening of 1,3-cyclohexadiene

TL;DR: In this article, the concerted photochemical ring opening of 1,3-cyclohexadiene was investigated in the gas phase by low-intensity pumping at 267 nm and subsequent probing by high-intensity photoionization at 800 nm and mass-selective detection of the ion yields.

Near-threshold absolute photoionization cross-sections of some reaction intermediates in combustion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a monochromated VUV synchrotron light source with an energy resolution of 40meV (fwhm) comparable to that used for flame-sampling molecular beam PIMS studies of flame chemistry and reaction kinetics.
