Abstract
Electron transmission $spectroscopy^{1}$ has been used to investigate the through-bond interaction of the $\pi^{\ast}$ molecular orbitals (MD's) of the non-conjugated dienes: [FIGURE] The electron affinities, derived from the electron transmission spectra, of these compounds, their monoene analogues, ethylene, 2-butene, norbornene, and norbornadiene are utilized to determine the interactions of the $\pi^{\ast}$ MO's with the fing o and $o^{\ast}$ MO's. The splittings and shifts in the $\pi^{\ast}$ MO's are compared with those in the filled $\pi^{\ast}$ MO's as determined from photoelectron $spectroscopy^{2}$ and with the results of MO calculations.
