title: Photochemistry via photoelectron spectroscopy: N-substituted phthalimides.
abstract: The electronic structures of several N-substituted phthalimides have been investigated by UV photoelectron spectroscopy and outer valence Greens function calculations. Some spectra reveal the presence of photofragmentation and photoelimination processes related to the decay of the aminium radical cation. We compared the fragmentation mechanisms in the gas phase and in the solution.
