Abstract
High-resolution (∼0.1 eV) core-level photoelectron spectra of gas-phase , , , and have been recorded using monochromatized synchrotron radiation. These spectra, multiconfiguration self-consistent-field calculations of the vibrational profile, and the core-equivalent model all show that core-level vibrational structure decreases dramatically, both down a group of congeneric molecules and across a periodic row of isoelectronic molecules. The theoretical calculations also show that the Franck-Condon factors do not change for relatively shallow core levels (e.g., Si 2p,2s or Ge 3d,3p) but increase significantly for deep core levels (e.g., Si 1s).
