The excitation spectra of 1.3.5-cycloheptatriene and 1,3,5.7 cycle-octatetraene have been measured with low energy electron impact spectroscopy. The results are discussed on the basis of quantumchemical calculations. The interaction of low energy electrons and single molecules is an important sour
The clectran-impact ener&y-loss spectrum of ketene has been measured at impact energics of 30 CV end 50 cV, and SGI~tering angles varying from 5" to 80". Transitions hzvc been observed at 3.7.5.3, and 5.86 cV. These values are in excellent agreement with recent high quality ab initio calculations. T
The results of ab initio SCF and CI calculations on the electronic states of NiCO are reported. The 'X+ ground state is a mixture of two primary configurations associated with the Ni 3d" and 3d94s states, and is bound by 18 kcal mol-' with respect to Ni and CO at R N,C = 1.77 A.

The energies of the states below 40000 cm-' have been calculated at the CASPTZ( 3, 8)/ANO level. The symmetry assignments and energies at this level are: 2AI 15798 cm-', 2B2 21791 cm-', 4B, 27528 cm-', 2A, 40304 cm-', 2BI 41596 cm-', and 4A2 46879 cm-'.
