Abstract

The valence electronic levels of the linear alkanes have been studied in the gas and solid phases by electron spectroscopy (AlKα) and ab initio calculations. With increasing size these quasi-linear molecules show the formation of a band structure. It appears that n-tridecane provides a convenient finite model for simulating the band structure of an infinite solid. The influence of aggregation is found to be small compared with the variation of the interatomic distances in the molecules.
