Abstract

Gas-phase He I and He II photoelectron spectra for CpPtMe3and the new complex Cp*PtMe3(Cp = η5-C5H5, Cp* = η5-C5Me5, Me = CH3) have been obtained. The valence orbitals responsible for the ionizations have been assigned to the corresponding molecular orbitals with the aid of Fenske-Hall molecular orbital calculations. The ordering of the molecular orbitals (in order of increasing binding energy) is Pt 5d < Pt-Me < Pt-Cp. From the photoelectron results, it is apparent that the Cp e1” orbitals interact strongly with the metal orbitals.
