Abstract:
Single photon double ionization of carbon diselenide ([Formula: see text]) has been investigated by means of multi-particle coincidence techniques. The interpretation of the experimental spectra is helped by post-Hartree-Fock computations at the Coupled Clusters and Multi-Reference Configuration-Interaction levels to determine the energetics and electronic state potentials of [Formula: see text] and its fragments. The lowest experimental double ionization energy of [Formula: see text] has been found to be 24.68 ± 0.20 eV, reflecting the [Formula: see text] ground state, and is in agreement with the theoretical vertical double ionization energy of 24.41 eV. Several fragmentation channels are reported including experimental appearance energies and kinetic energy releases in comparison to theoretical results on their characteristics. In particular, we identify several purely repulsive, Coulomb explosion fragmentation channels.

Radicals: Electronic Structure and Geometry
Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
