Abstract :
The absolute photoabsorption, photoionisation and photodissociation cross-sections and the photoionisation quantum efficiency of benzene and hexadeuterobenzene have been measured from the ionisation threshold to 350 Å using a double ion chamber and monochromated synchrotron radiation. The HeI excited photoelectron spectrum of C6D6 has been recorded and the vibrational structure exhibited in the X 2E1g, A 2E2g, E 2B1u and F 2A1g bands has been analysed with the aid of theoretical predictions and by analogy with the recently reported high-resolution photoelectron spectrum of C6H6. The photoabsorption spectrum displays extensive vibrational structure extending from the ionisation threshold to ∼730 Å, and many of these absorption features have been arranged into Rydberg series. A detailed assignment of the vibrational progressions associated with some Rydberg states has been accomplished by making use of the corresponding photoelectron spectrum. A sum rule analysis has been carried out by combining the present absolute photoabsorption measurements with similar data covering the remaining wavelength regions.
