The electronic structure of nitromethane and nitrobenzene has been studied by high‐resolution HeI photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations of the INDO type. The spectra of CH3NO2 and CD3NO2 exhibit six ionization bands below 21 eV. The transitions to the ground and first excited ionic states have extensive vibrational structure which has been identified as the symmetric NO2 bending mode. The spectra of C6H5NO2 and C6D5NO2 contain at least 10 ionization bands below 21 eV with resolved vibrational structure only in the transition to the ground ionic state. The most loosely bound MO of nitromethane has been identified as the 5a1 NO2–σ bonding orbital, and that of nitrobenzene as the b1 ring‐π orbital. The nonbonding a2 π orbital has been assigned to the second and fourth ionization bands in these respective molecules. Using the MO ordering found here, the 198 mμ absorption band of nitromethane is assigned to the π*(2b1)← σ(5a1) transition and the long wavelength bands of nitrobenzene are ...
