Photoionization cross-section weighted DFT simulations as promising tool for the investigation of the electronic structure of open shell metal-phthalocyanines
The valence band structure of different metal-phthalocyanines was investigated by comparing ultraviolet photoelectron spectra at different excitation energies with simulated spectra that take the different photoionization cross-sections at these energies into account. The Kohn-Sham eigenvalue spectr...

Zusammenfassung: | The valence band structure of different metal-phthalocyanines was investigated by comparing ultraviolet photoelectron spectra at different excitation energies with simulated spectra that take the different photoionization cross-sections at these energies into account. The Kohn-Sham eigenvalue spectra, derived from density functional theory calculations, using hybrid exchange-correlation functionals, were weighted with the photoionization coefficients in accordance with the used excitation energy. By applying these techniques, the differences in the photoelectron spectra using He I and He II radiation can be reproduced and investigated. It will be shown that the 3d-orbitals of the used metal central atom of these molecules have a major influence. The changes at different excitation energies were studied for Fe, Co, and Cu central atoms to describe the chemical tailoring effects. |
