The He(Iα) PE and the electronic absorption spectra of hexafluorocyclobutanone ( 3 ) and tetrafluoro‐1,2‐cyclobutanedione ( 4 ) have been recorded. The assignment of the observed bands in both types of spectra is mainly based on the correlation with the corresponding spectra of the parent compounds cyclobutanone ( 1 ) and 1,2‐cyclobutanedione ( 2 ), and in addition on the results of semiempirical calculations. As a result of the perfluoro effect, the bands in the PE spectra of 3 and 4 are shifted towards higher ionization energies by 1.6 eV and 1.5 eV relative to the corresponding bands in the PE spectra of 1 and 2 . A comparison of the positions of the first band in the electronic spectra of 1 and 3 , as well as of 2 and 4 , shows that this band is shifted bathochromically by about 5000 cm −1 as a consequence of the perfluoro substitution. This is explained as being due to a stronger lowering of the LUMO (π*) energy than that of the HOMO (n) energy, induced by the replacement of the H‐by F‐atoms.
