Abstract
The electronic structure of polyvinylsiloxane polymeric chains (Si2O3(CHCH2)2)n is studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemistry in the DFT approximation. The binding energy of C and O ls electrons occupying inequivalent positions in the polymer coincides within the experimental accuracy. The binding energies for C and O (284.9 eV and 532.4 eV) and for Si2p-electrons (102.7 eV) well agree with the values for related compounds. The experimental data for the binding energy are reproduced in HF and DFT calculations only with the extended 6–311**(d) basis set. The highest occupied levels of the polymer are fy orbitals of vinyl groups
