%X The photoelectron spectra of some 2- and 9-substituted (1x,4x,4a&#946;,5&#946;,8&#946;,8a&#946;)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,8,8a-octahydro-1,4:5,8-dimethanonaphthalenes, (1)-(6), and (12), and their perhydro analogues, (1')-(6'), and (12'), were obtained in order to assess the magnitude and nature of orbital interactions in these molecules. The &#960;cc Ip of the ketone (12) was found to be 0.1 eV higher than that of the hydrocarbon (1) and is thought to be due to the presence of orbital interactions through bonds in the former molecule. Through-space and through-bond interactions in the ketone (6) are responsible for increasing the &#960;cc Ip by 0.33 eV with respect to that of (1) whereas through-space interactions are solely responsible for the lowering of the &#960;cc Ip of the syn-ether (5) 0.36 eV with respect to the anti isomer (3).  Strong intramolecular OH&#8230;&#960; bonding in the alcohol (4) results is an increase in &#960;cc by 0.33 eV and a decrease in the no Ip by 0.42 eV both with respect to the corresponding ionizations in the anti-alcohol (2).
