The conformation of organic molecules may be determined by means of photoelectron (PE) spectroscopy if there are orbital interactions present which depend on a dihedral angle. Straightforward application of the method requires that all ionization bands of interest can be assigned unambiguously and that inductive effects and secondary orbital interactions do not occur or can be accounted for appropriately. In many cases, this method complements conventional methods of conformational analysis. PE conformational analysis is particularly suited to compounds containing vicinal lone pairs of ..pi.. systems. 105 references, 10 figures, 2 tables.
