%X A coupled-chromophore model is presented to explain the splittings of the photoelectron energies arising in the photoionization of the &#960;-electrons in non-conjugated dienes. The predictions of the model are consistent with the experimental splittings for a range of dienes, and suggest that the &#963; framework plays no physical role in coupling the two chromophores. The implications for the physical interpretation in terms of through-bond interactions are discussed.
