Abstract

The satellite structure in the photoelectron spectrum of the C(1s) shell has been studied for the following compounds: ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, butadiene and, for comparison, propane. The structure can be divided into two parts: a relatively sharp peak due to π → π* excitation and a broad complex band involving excitation of σ orbitals. Calculation of electron shakeup probabilities has been carried out using CNDO wave functions and compared with experiment. Reasonably good agreement was obtained, and the general problem of characterizing carbon—carbon double bond behavior by satellite structure due to electron shakeup is discussed.
