Photoabsorption and Photoelectron Spectra of Trichloroethylene and Tetrachloroethylene: A joint experimental and theoretical approach

The present work is a joint experimental and theoretical approach in the investigation of the photo-excitation and -ionization of two pollutant molecules, namely trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene using experimental data measured by photoabsorption and photoelectron spectroscopy and state of the art electronic structure computations. Unlike previous works, in this master thesis we carefully depict the vibrational structure of the photoelectron and photoabsorption bands of the investigated species by computing their vibrationally-resolved spectra.
