Abstract

Ab-initio calculations for ethyl azide-CH 3CH 2N 3- and azidoacetone-N 3CH 2COCH 3-were performed with the aim of interpreting their ultraviolet photoelectron spectra. Some preliminary results are presented. The first bands of the photoelectron spectra of the azides under study are intense and sharp indicating ionization from a non-bonding orbital. This is in accordance with the performed calculations, which also predict a non-bonding character to the molecular orbitals corresponding to the first ionization energies. Good agreement was also found when comparing the second ionization energies given by the calculations with the second bands of the photoelectron spectra of the molecules.
