Study of the Electronic Structure of Ni(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(NO) by Variable-Photon-Energy Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Density Functional Calculations.

Photoelectron spectra, with photon energies varying from 18 to 120 eV, have been measured for Ni(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(NO). Relative partial photoelectron cross sections and branching ratios have been evaluated for the first three valence ionization bands. He I and He II photoelectron spectra have been remeasured for Ni(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(NO) and Ni(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)CH(3))(NO).
