Abstract
The electronic structure and ionization spectrum of γ-pyrone (4H-pyran-4-one) were calculated using the third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction method for the single-particle Green function [IP-ADC(3)] and some other high-level quantum chemical methods. The results of calculations were used to interpret its recently recorded photoelectron spectra. New assignments have been proposed for the nature of a series of photoelectron maxima of γ-pyrone located above 12 eV, where, according to calculations, the one-electron ionization pattern is disturbed due to electron correlation effects. The obtained results significantly change the interpretation of the spectrum available in the literature.
