Abstract Photoelectron (PE) spectra of imidazole ( 1), 1 ‐methylimidazole ( 2 ), 2‐methylimidazole ( 3 ), 4(5)‐nitroimidazole ( 4 ), 2‐methyl‐4(5)nitroimidazole ( 5 ), 1,2‐dimethyl‐5‐nitroimidazole ( 6 ), 1‐ethyl‐2‐methyl‐5‐nitroimidazole ( 7 ), 1‐bromoethyl‐2‐methyl‐5‐nitroimidazole ( 8 ) and 1‐hydroxyethyl‐2‐methyl‐5‐nitroimidazole ( 9 ) have been recorded using Hel excitation. The electronic structure of the potent antitrichomonal agent 9 is discussed in comparison with compounds 1–8 allowing for the study of the influence of substituents on the imidazole ring.
