Abstract

The molecules of dihydrocoumarin and 5,6-methylenedioxy-1-indanone were studied by the negative ion resonant electron capture mass spectrometry for slow (0-15 eV) electrons. Such studies of the structure of vacant molecular orbitals (VMO) and dissociative electron attachment (DEA) for isolated molecules of prospective organic semiconducting materials, which are of great interest in terms of use as elementary components of organic nanoelectronics devices, are the most promising, since a correspondence between the energies of vacant MO isolated molecules and the maxima of the density of states in the conduction band of thin films was revealed earlier. Also, there is an idea developing in modern science, that the results of studies of vacant orbitals of individual molecules in the gas phase, in particular, using the DEA method, are necessary to identify the features of the energy structure of the conduction band of molecular organic condensates, starting from energies below the vacuum level, by the amount of binding energy of molecules in the film. In particular, it was shown that the substances studied in this work cannot be used as monomeric compounds in the design of electrically conductive polymers in the future, since they do not form negative molecular ions in the gas phase at energies close to thermal.
