Question

5. The photoelectron spectrum of C2 has not yet been measured. Sketch a predicted spectrum, based on the molecular-orbital energy-level diagram and the electronic configuration of the C2 molecule. Ignore the 1s core orbitals in your treatment. Assign each band to an orbital ionization process. Which bands do you predict will exhibit extensive vibrational fine structure?
