Notes:
The photoelectron spectra of spiro[3.4]octane (1), spiro[3.4]octene-5 (2), spiro[3.4]-octa-5,7-diene (3), spiro[4.4]nonene-2 (4) and spiro[4.4]nona-2,4-diene (5) have been recorded. The first bands of these spectra are correlated with orbitals which are π-orbitals, Walsh orbitals resp. linear combinations of both. Our assignment is based on a qualitative ZDO-model, it is in satisfactory agreement with the results of extended Hückel calculations. The interaction found in 2 and 3 is of similar magnitude as the one in 4 and 5 and considerably less than that in homofulvene and fulvene.
