Abstract

The photoionisation of the C(3)H(2) isomer propargylene was studied using synchrotron radiation and coincidence techniques. An adiabatic ionisation energy (IE(ad)) of 8.99 ± 0.02 eV was determined. The precursor diazopropyne was investigated as well. Ionisation and appearance energies were measured.
