The helium (I) photoelectron spectrum of C(CN) 4 curiously displays ionizations only in two small windows from 13.8 eV to 14.5 eV and from 14.8 eV to 15.5 eV, respectively. A tentative assignment of the numerous overlapping bands – based on a spectroscopically parametrized LCBO MO model – correlates satisfactorily with ionization potentials of other cyano compounds as well as of tetrahalomethanes.
