TY - JOUR A1 - Gleiter, Rolf A1 - Bischof, Peter A1 - Christl, Manfred T1 - Electronic Structure of Octavalene : Photoelectron Spectroscopic Investigations N2 - The He I photoelectron (PE) spectra of octavalene (5) as weil as its hydrogenated products 6-8 have been investigated. The assignment given is based on an empirical comparison of 5-8 with related compounds, a ZDO model, and semiempirical and ab initio calculations. Within the ZDO model the interaction between the buta.diene moiety and the bicyclobutane fragment of 5 is described by a resonance integral of -2.3 eV. The orbitalsequence of 5 is found tobe 2a\(_2\) (\(\pi\)-\(\sigma\)), 9a\(_1\) (\(\sigma\)), 3b1 (\(\pi\) - \(\sigma\)), 1a\(_2\) (\(\sigma\) + \(\pi\)), 2b\(_1\) (\(\sigma\) + \(\pi\)).
