The ionization potentials of methane, and of the four deuterated methanes, have been determined by electron impact using two 90° mass spectrometers with different types of sources. In addition, the ionization potentials of acetylene, deuterated acetylene, ethylene, and deuterated ethylene have been measured. A simple empirical method is used to obtain values which are reproducible to ±0.02 volt. For the methanes the ionization potential is found to increase with the number of deuterium atoms in the molecule, with a difference of 0.18 volt between the value for CH4 and that for CD4. Although this difference is found to be the same on each of the mass spectrometers, there is a difference of 0.11 volt between the absolute values of the ionization potential as determined for CH4 on the two instruments. In order to explain the difference between the ionization potentials of CH4 and CD4 on the basis of zero point energy differences, it is estimated that the force constants in the ionic state would need to have ...
