Register FREE Journal of Spectroscopy and Dynamics 2013, 3: 7 Research Article Photoelectron spectroscopy of two pesticides: Diazinon and Dicamba Igor Novaka, Branka Kovacb a Charles Sturt University, POB 883, Orange NSW 2800, Australia b Ruder Boškovic Institute, Bijenicka cesta 54, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia Abstract The electronic structures of pesticides diazinon and dicamba have been studied by UV photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and high-level Green’s function (GF) calculations. Our UPS data reveal the electronic structures of title compounds which is then used to discuss some aspects of biological activity of these pesticides.
