Reisberg, L. ; Pärna, R. LU ; Kikas, A. ; Kuusik, I. ; Kisand, V. ; Hirsimäki, M. ; Valden, M. and Nõmmiste, E. (2016) In Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena 213. p.11-16
Abstract

Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, TMA) molecules in gas-phase have been investigated by using valence band photoemission. The photoelectron spectrum in the binding energy region from 9 to 22 eV is interpreted by using density functional theory calculations. The electronic structure of TMA is compared with benzene and benzoic acid in order to demonstrate changes in molecular orbital energies induced by addition of carboxyl groups to benzene ring.
