Abstract For the lower lying excited states of the fluorine molecule elaborated SCF-CI calculations have been carried out. The discussion of the potential curves of some higher excited stable states leads to the conclusion that the experimentally observed orange band-system may belong to two transitions 1Σg+ - 1Πu and 1Σu- - 1Πg .

The direct photolysis of 2-cyanobenzobarrelene (4) yields 5- and 7-cyanobenzocyclooctatetraene [Formula: see text] and 1-cyanobenzosemibullvalene [Formula: see text], whereas the acetophenone sensitized irradiation of 4 yields only 8 [Formula: see text]. Deuterium labelling studies suggest that 7 derives from an initial 2Π + 2Π cycloaddition between the vinyl and vinylcyano bridges of 4, whereas 8, resulting from direct or sensitized irradiations of 4, derives from di-Π-methane rearrangement involving initial vinyl–vinylcyano bridging. The observed initial bonding preferences of the 2Π + 2Π cycloadditions and di-Π-methane rearrangement of 4 are in accord with predictions based upon CNDO-CI calculations of changes in atom–atom interaction energies between possible bridging sites in singlet and triplet excited states of 4.

The excited states of four hemes, c-552, c-554, c-556, and c-559, in a c-type cytochrome subunit of the photosynthetic reaction center (PSRC) of Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) viridis were studied using the symmetry-adapted cluster (SAC)-configuration interaction (CI) method. c-552 has two imidazole ligands, while the other three hemes have imidazole and methionine ligands. The electronic states of these four hemes are affected significantly by both the ligands and protein and water environments. The ligand effect classifies the four hemes into two groups, while the environmental effect is unique in each heme. The HOMO–LUMO energy separation of c-552 is much smaller than those of the other hemes, and therefore, the low-lying excited states of c-552 are more stable than those of the other hemes. The low-lying excited states and their oscillator strengths of c-559 are significantly modified by the environment when compared with c-556 and c-554. Some observed UV peaks of the PSRC of Rps. viridis were found to have been assigned reasonably to the excited states of these four hemes in a previous report. The calculated linear dichroism angles also supported our assignment.

In this work an ab initio analysis of the binuclear vanadium complex [V2O(bipy)4Cl2]2+ electronic structure is performed. The ground state was calculated to be a quintet, which means a ferromagnetic interaction between centers. The orbitals participating in exchange interaction according to ROHF+CI calculations are two molecular orbitals consisting of vanadium d-orbitals and two molecular orbitals with main contributions from p-orbitals of bipyridine ligands perpendicular to V-V axis, vanadium d- and p-orbitals and μ-oxygen p-orbital. Calculated energy values of the multielectronic states are placed in accordance with Lande rule. The value of magnetic moment at 293K calculated for the complex in vacuum taking into consideration the Boltzmann distribution and the energies of the excited states is 3.95BM which is in accordance with experimental value of 3.99BM (for complex in acetone).

1,6- and 1,8-Dimethylbenzotricyclo[3.3.0.02,8]octa-3,6-diene (16 and 14) are the major semibullvalene products formed from acetophenone sensitized irradiations of the barrelenes 2,6- and 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-1,4-ethenonaphthalene (37 and 22), respectively (Φ37→16 = 0.65; Φ22→14=0.57). The direct (Φ14 = 0.017) or chlorobenzene sensitized (Φ14 = 0.12) irradiation of 14 yields 2,3-benzo-5-methyl-6-methylenebicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,7-diene (17), a transformation typical of methylcyclopropanes. Gas phase thermolysis (420 °C/6 Torr) of 14 gives 6,7-dimethylbenzocyclooctatetraene (15). The direct irradiation (Φ39 = 0.003) or the gas phase thermolysis (395 °C/6 Torr) of 16 gives 6,9-dimethylbenzocyclooctatetraene (39). The rearrangement 14 → 17 is in accord with predictions based upon CNDO-CI calculations of changes in atom–atom interaction energies on excitation to the S1 or T1 excited states of 14.
