The angular distribution of photoelectrons emitted from valence states of oriented molecules is investigated. The principles underlying the angular pattern formation are explained in terms of photoelectron wave interference, caused by initial state delocalization and final state photoelectron scattering. Computational approaches to photoelectron spectroscopy from molecules are briefly reviewed. Here a combination of molecular orbital calculations for the initial state and multiple scattering theory for the photoelectron final state is used and applied to the 3 sigma and 4 sigma orbitals of nitrogen and the highest occupied molecular orbital of pentacene. Appreciable perpendicular emission and circular dichroism in angular distributions is found, two effects that cannot be described by the popular plane wave approximation to the photoelectron final state.
