Highly unsaturated and carbon-rich chain molecules like Pentadiynylidene (HC5H) and Methylpentadiynylidene (MeC5H) occur as unstable intermediates in harsh chemical environments. They are well studied by various techniques like matrix isolated IR, EPR and UV/VIS spectroscopy.[1] Nevertheless, Threshold Photoelectron Spectra (TPES) of HC5H and MeC5H didn't exist. To obtain first insights we applied imaging Photoelectron Photoion Coincidence Spectroscopy in this study, which is capable to supply mass selective TPES. 1-Diazo-penta-2,4-diyne and 1-Diazo-hexa-2,4-diyne were selected as excellent precursors generating Triplet Pentadiynylidene and Methylpentadiynylidene. Ensuing the corresponding carbenes were produced by flash pyrolysis, stabilized in the gas phase and photoionized by tunable vacuum ultraviolet synchrotron radiation. This presentation will offer first results in the Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Pentadiynylidene and Methylpentadiynylidene, executed at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) for synchrotron radiation.
