Core electron binding energies for analogous compounds of carbon, silicon, and germanium have been measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in the gas phase. The chemical shifts have been correlated by the electrostatic potential equation using charge distributions from extended Huckel theory, CNDO/2, and an electronegativity equalization method. The data can be rationalized without any consideration p..pi -->..d..pi.. or p(pi)..-->..d(pi) in the silicon and germanium compounds.
