Abstract He(I) ultraviolet photoelectron (UV-PES) spectra are reported for several bis(arene)chromium compounds. The arenes concerned are m-trifluoromethylbenzotrifluoride, p-fluorobenzotrifluoride, p-difluorobenzene, m-dichlorobenzene, fluorobenzene, chlorobenzene, methylbenzoate, p-chlorotoluene, diphenyl ether, toluene, o-xylene, trimethylsilylbenzene, isobutylbenzene, 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, and 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene. The spectra have been interpreted using a qualitative perturbation molecular orbital model. The two major findings of the work are: (i) the ionizations from the metal-localized a1g and e2g molecular orbitals are governed primarily by ligand electronegativity, but there is some evidence for the operation of conjugative effects, and (ii) the ionization energies of the free and coordinated arenes are quite similar. © 1982.
