We investigate the electronic structure of diamondoid aggregates in the gas phase with valence photoelectron spectroscopy. The samples are aggregates of the lower diamondoids adamantane, diamantane and triamantane. The diamandoid constituents are connected with CC-single- or double-bonds. The investigations show an influence on the electronic structure of the samples by the bond type as well as the combination of the bonding partners. For singly bound aggregates only a small impact of the bond type on the electronic structure is observed. In fact a superposition of the bonding partner orbitals describes the aggregate orbitals well. The strength of quantum confinement effects is shown to depend on the bonding partner orbital energy difference. The spectra of doubly bound aggregates show significantly lower influence of the bonding partner sizes instead. Rather the HOMO can be ascribed to the CC-double-bond. Density functional theory supports our interpretations.
