Abstract
Chemiionization reactivity (Penning ionization cross section) of substituted ethylenes in collision with helium metastable atoms was studied by velocity-resolved Penning ionization electron spectroscopy. Collision energy dependences of ionization probabilities of π orbitals were found to correlate with the HOMO levels. The higher the HOMO levels, the more effectively the reactive site of the ethylenes is hit by metastable atoms because of increased attractive interactions.
