The ionization energies of four [1,2,4,5]tetrazinodi(heteroarenes) of C 2 h Symmetry have been measured by PE spectroscopy. It is found that the first ionization energy is very low (6.2 eV to 6.4 eV) and rather independent of the size and/or topology of the molecules. This is explained, by comparison with the results of a simple MO treatment, as being due to strong localization of the HOMO (of A u symmetry) on the [1,2,4,5]tetrazino moiety of the molecules. The PE‐spectroscopic data are shown to be in agreement with the UV/VIS‐and electrochemical‐oxidation data published previously.
