The photoabsorption spectrum of vinylchloride (C2H3Cl) in the 8–12 eV range Original Research Article

The photoabsorption spectrum of vinylchloride (C2H3Cl) has been measured using synchrotron radiation and has been analyzed in detail between 8.0 eV and 12.0 eV photon energy. Valence to virtual valence and Rydberg transitions have been identified and classified. Tentative assignments were based on ionization energies as measured by He(I) and threshold photoelectron spectroscopy, as reported in the joined paper [1]. Many features have been identified as being members of vibrational progressions belonging to the observed Rydberg series.
