Electron affinity determinations
| EA (eV) | Method | Reference | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.9160 ± 0.0040 | LPES | Villalta and Leopold, 2009 | |
| 1.900 ± 0.030 | LPES | Wu, Li, et al., 1998 | Lower EA values of Taylor, Pettiette, et al., 1988 and Gantef÷r, Meiwes-Broer, et al., 1988 assigned to hot states of anion. |
| 1.90 ± 0.10 | LPES | Cha, Ganteför, et al., 1994 | Stated electron affinity is the Vertical Detachment Energy |
| <1.89 ± 0.10 | IMRB | Hettich, 1989 | EA less than p-benzoquinone |
| <1.43 ± 0.15 | LPES | Gantefoer, Gause, et al., 1988 | Vertical Detachment Energy: 1.63 eV |
| <1.40 ± 0.20 | LPES | Gantef÷r, Meiwes-Broer, et al., 1988 | EA given is Vertical Detachment Energy. Adiabatic EA est as up to 1 eV smaller |
| <1.53 ± 0.10 | LPES | Taylor, Pettiette, et al., 1988 | EA given is Vertical Detachment Energy. Adiabatic EA est as up to 1 eV smaller |
