Inner-shell excitation of gas phase carbonates and α,γ-dicarbonyl compounds

The inner-shell (C 1s, N 1s, O 1s) excitation spectra of dimethoxymethanone, diphenoxymethanone, and a series of α,γ-dicarbonyl compounds – 2,4-pentanedione, N-acetylacetamide, malonamide, acetyl anhydride, dimethyl malonate, diethyl malonate, 2-imidodicarbonic diamide, di-t-butyl iminodicarboxylate and dimethyldicarbonate – have been recorded in the gas phase with inner shell electron energy loss spectroscopy in the scattering regime dominated …
