Gas-phase He I photoelectron spectra of a series of 2-arylethynyl-1,3,2-benzodiazaboroles BEP-X [1 (X=H), 2 (X=Me), 3 (X=OMe), 4 (X=SMe), 5 (X=NMe2), 6 (X=Br)] have been recorded and assessed by density functional theory calculations. The first ionization energies of these benzodiazaboroles are in the order 5 (7.0 eV)
