Abstract
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) investigation of two widely used herbicide compounds MCPA and 2,4-D is reported. The GW calculations are shown to offer a good description of their electronic structure. There is excellent agreement between the experimental and theoretical energies of the HOMO states of 2,4-D and MCPA, which are at 8.7 eV and 8.5 eV binding energy, respectively. The low energy tail of the HOMO state extends to about 8 eV. The good agreement between the UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy) spectra and the simulation validates the proposed conformer. The presented gas phase data will help researchers to analyze data from liquid and diluted samples of these herbicide molecules and perform additional theoretical modelling.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena publishes experimental, theoretical and applied work in the field of electron spectroscopy and electronic structure, involving techniques which use high energy photons (>10 eV) or electrons as probes or detected particles in the investigation.
