The photoelectron spectra of fulvene (II) and of 3,4‐dimethylene‐cyclobutene (III) have been recorded. The PE. bands are correlated, in order of increasing ionisation potentials, with the following orbitals: II: 1 a 2 (π), 2 b 1 (π), 7 b 2 (π), 1 b 1 (π); III: 2 b 1 (ω), 1 a 2 (π), 10 a 1 (ω), 8 b 2 (ω), 1 b 1 (π). This assignment is based on a semi‐quantitative perturbation MO‐model and on the SCF‐LCAO‐MO calculations reported by Praud , Millie & Berthier [5] for benzene, II and III.
