Hei and Hen photoelectron spectra and the electronic structures of XeF ₂, XeF₄, and XeF₆

The high-resolution photoelectron spectra of XeF₂, XeF ₄, and XeF₆ have been obtained essentially free from any impurity features, and the ionization potentials up to 28 eV have been measured. The results are used, in conjunction with recent ab initia calculations, to assign the molecular orbital electronic structure of these molecules. Agreement between experiment and calculation is fairly good.
