The intrinsic photoconductivity (pc) of 11 liquid hydrocarbons and silanes induced by VUV light was measured. From the onset of the pc the following thresholds were estimated in eV at T=(294±2) K: isopentane 9.15; n-pentane 9.1; neohexane 8.75; 3-methyl pentane 8.85; cyclohexane 8.75; n-tridecane 9.25; n-pentene-1 8.33; cyclopentene 7.4; tetramethylethylene 6.8; hexamethyldisilane 6.75; triethylsilane 8.25. Absolute quantum yields were determines at 120 nm for a field strength of 2.5 kV cm−1.
