29. The reason for the greater effectiveness of a C-Sn σ-MO than C-Si σ-MO is a better energy match of orbital energies and consequent greater interaction. That is, the HOMO ionization energy for sulfur 3p lone pair orbitals in thioethers is much lower than that of oxygen and nitrogen lone pair orbitals in ethers and amines. Consequently, while a C-Si σ-MO is a good energy match for an oxygen or nitrogen lone pair orbital, the lower energy C-Sn σ-MO is a better energy match for a sulfur or selenium lone pair HOMO than a C-Si σ-MO.

43. Since the time scale for PES ionization is much shorter than that for electrochemical oxidation, the correlation breaks down when there is significant molecular reorganization on removal of an electron. See ref 22 for examples.

53. Nevertheless, direct comparison between 2a and 5a must be viewed with caution because of other differences in orbital interactions. For example, in 2a, the two Si-Si σ-orbitals in the Si-Si-Si moiety combine to form π-like orbitals.
