The extremely improved resolution of ZEKE spectroscopy is one of its main advantages over conventional photoelectron (PE) spectroscopy. A good illustration of this is provided by the comparison of the photoelectron spectrum of NO with the corresponding ZEKE spectrum (shown on the right). ZEKE spectroscopy can be used to characterize large organic molecules such as benzene and para ‐difluorobenzene, hydroden‐bonded complexes such as phenol–water, transition metal clusters such as Nb 3 O, van der Waals complexes such as benzene–argon, and even reactive intermediates.
