Abstract

The X-ray photoelectron and emission spectra (XPS and XES) of Si- and S-containing polymers [(-Si{-CH2-}(3))(n) (PCS), (-Si(CH3)(OH)-O-)(n) (PMHSO), (-Si(C6H5)(OH)-O-)(n) (PTES), (-Si(C6H5)(OH)-O-Si(CH3)(OH)-O-)(n) (PPMHSO), (-C6H4-O-C6H4-SO2-)(n) (PES)] were simulated by the deMon density-functional theory (DFT) calculations using the model molecules. The theoretical valence photoelectron and C K alpha X-ray emission spectra showed good accordance with some experimental ones. The combined analysis of the valence XPS and C and O K alpha XES enables us to divide the observed valence electronic distribution into the individual contributions for p sigma-, p pi- and non-bonding MOs of the polymers.
