  1. Photoelectron Spectroscopy • Lecture 1: Development of Photoelectron Spectroscopy • Photoionization • “Koopmans’ Theorem” • Brief Historical Overview • Current Topics

  2. e- e- e- Photoelectric Effect Ionization occurs when matter interacts with light of sufficient energy (Heinrich Hertz, 1886) (Einstein, A. Ann. Phys. Leipzig 1905, 17, 132-148.) hn Ehn = electron kinetic energy + electron binding energy Photoelectron spectroscopy uses this phenomenon to learn about the electronic structure of matter

  3. General Overview of Spectroscopy • Spectroscopy uses interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter to learn something about the matter. • If electromagnetic radiation present is in resonance with the energy spacing between different states (electronic, vibrational, rotational, etc) of matter, radiation will be absorbed and transitions will occur. • The radiation that is transmitted through the sample is measured, and spectrum can be reported as either transmittance or absorbance of radiation. • Photoelectron spectroscopy is entirely different!

  4. Others Photon must be in resonance with transition energy Measure absorbance or transmittance of photons Scan photon energies Photoelectron Photon just needs enough energy to eject electron Measure kinetic energy of ejected electrons Monochromatic photon source Photoelectron vs Other Spectroscopies

  5. Why would a chemist care about ionizations anyway? • Models for description of electronic structure are typically based on an orbital approximation. • Tjalling C. Koopmans, "Ordering of Wave Functions and Eigenvalues to the Individual Electrons of an Atom." Physica 1933, 1, 104 • Koopmans’ Theorem: “The negative of the energy of an occupied orbital from a theoretical calculation is equal to the vertical ionization energy due to the removal of an electron from that orbital.”

  6. Ionization is still a transition between states • Initial State: Neutral (or anion) • Final State: Atom/Molecule/Anion after an electron is removed, plus the ejected electron • M → M+ + e- • More on this next time

  7. Historical Timeline • First spectrophotometer: 1850s • First IR:1880s • First crystallography: 1912 • First NMR: 1938 • First EPR: 1944 • First PES: 1957

  8. What took so long? • Development of electron kinetic energy analyzers with sufficient resolution to be useful. • Development of suitable sources of ionizing radiation – vacuum UV, soft X-ray • Development of electron detectors • Development of UHV technology

  9. First Ionization Energies: cesium 3.89 eV (319 nm) ferrocene 7.90 eV (157 nm) water 12.61 eV (98 nm)
