The ir ionization potentials of planar aromatic systems and their perfluoro derivatives are very nearly equal, whereas the ionization potentials in the perfluoro compounds are several electron volts larger thanin the perhydro compound (the perfluoro effect). Comparisons of the high-resolution photoelectron spectra of benzene, pyridine, s-triazine, borazine, p-benzoquinone, and naphthalene with those of their perfluoro derivatives leadto the following conclusions,(a) In benzene, the orbital ordering is ir3, ir2 (lelg, 9.421 eV),(3e2g, 11.49 eV), m (la2u, 12.3 eV), whilein hexafluorobenzene the ordering of a and m is reversed,(b) The lone-pair and 3 MO’s of pyridine are nearly degenerate (9.67 and 9.80 eV), and their order cannot be deduced. These two MO’s are followed by 2 (10.5 eV) and a MO at 12.45 eV which is a component of the 3e2g MO’s of benzene. In pentafluoropyridine, the ordering is 3, 2,,.(c) The ir3, ir2 MO’s of i-triazine show a slight Jahn-Teller split (11.71 and 12.15 eV), and are followed by the e'(10.41 eV) and a2'(13.25 eV) combinations of the nitrogen lone-pair AO’s, ir, of s-triazine comes at 14.65 eV. In cyanuric fluoride, C3N3F3, 3, ir2 are similarly split by 0.4 eV, and the ir¡ ionization precedes those from the lone pairs,(d) The uppermost MO’s of borazine are ir3, ir2 rather than as suggested by other work-ers, and these are followed by and, as in benzene,(e) The first four ionizations in naphthalene are out of ir MO’s, the fifth out of a MO.In the first part of thiswork, 1 it was established that upon substitution of the hydrogen atoms of a planar nonaromatic molecule by fluorine atoms, the MO’s of the molecule are stabilized by 2-3 eV, in contrast to the ir MO’s, which are an order of magnitude less stabilized. The specific stabilizing effect on the MO’s, termed the “perfluoro effect,” was not observed in grossly non-planar systems (but see hexafluorobutadiene 0 such as those containing the methyl group, for in these the-distinction can no longer be made and all MO’s are approximately equally stabilized by the substitution. In the work on nonaromatic systems, the successive ionization potentials were determined using photoelectron spectroscopy and then assignedto MO’s using Gaussian type orbital (GTO) calculations and Koop-mans’ theorem. Once identified, the transitions in the perhydro and perfluoro molecules were correlated using overlap and atomic population analyses. In the present paper, we wish to apply the perfluoro effect to theassignments of photoelectron bands in planar aromatic mole-cules which are too large for high-quality GTO calculations. Consequently, the interpretations will be more intuitive and will depend totally upon the validity of the perfluoro effect indistinguishing ir and MO’s. As will be seen, this approach leads to a reasonable assignment of the bands, and in a small way justifies the validity of the perfluoro effect in thistype of compound. Since the region between 15 and 20 eV in a perfluorinated molecule as small as F2C= CF2 is undecipherable, even with GTO calculations, there is no hope for a detailed assignment in this region for the much larger molecules studied here. However, where the He (II) spectra provide data beyond 20 eV, the perhydroperfluoro correlations are again recognizable and assignments can be made.
