The base strengths of various 2- and 4-styrylpyridines in the ground state and first-excited-singlet state have been determined. The base strengths are found to conform to the Hammett equation if the proper σ values are chosen.

Five bands of a new band system of P2 have been photographed at high dispersion and analyzed. The upper state of the system is a 1П0 state and lies lower than any previously known excited singlet state. The lower state of the new system is the ground state of P2 and the analysis of the new bands has given improved constants for this state. The new system appears to be the analogue of the Lyman–Birge–Hopfield bands of N2. The electron configuration of the low excited states of P2 and of related molecules is discussed.

Abstract The values a/a3 (α = polarizability), the Onsager cavity radii a and the dipole moments μe of six substituted stilbens in the fluorescent state have been determined. It is shown that if the dipole moment of the lowest excited singlet state μe is parallel to the dipole moment in the ground state μg, the values of μe and a can be determined from the solvent effects. Moreover, quantum chemical investigations of the dipole moments in the ground and excited states were carried out with the Pariser-Parr-Pople method and compared with the experimental values.

The concentration dependences of the yield of excited triplet states, G ( 3 S*), and the concentration dependences of the relative yield of radiation-induced fluorescence obtained on pulse radiolysis of solutions of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene and 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) are reported. The yields of excited singlet state solute molecules, G ( 1 S*), formed on pulse radiolysis of naphthalene-cyclohexane and naphthalene-benzene solutions has been determined by comparing the intensity of the radiation-induced fluorescence with that obtained on photo-excitation. It is concluded that intersystem crossing (i.s.c.) from the excited singlet state is an important process in the formation of the high yield of triplet excited states of the solute. Under certain conditions this process accounts for up to 50 % of G ( 3 S*) in cyclohexane and the entire G ( 3 S*) in benzene solutions.

The absorption spectrum of gaseous aluminium monofluoride has been examined in the region 1250 to 2000 Ǻ. Six new singlet band-systems have been found. Four of the excited states have also been observed in emission in transitions to the lowest excited singlet state A 1 п, at longer wave-lengths. The energies and products of dissociation of some of the states are considered.

Violation of Hund's multiplicity rule in the electronically excited states of conjugated hydrocarbons is studied by using the Pariser–Parr–Pople type SCF MO method and the abinitio MO method with STO-3G basis set, both methods being augmented by CI-type treatments. It is shown that for symmetrical structures (D2h) of the nonalternant hydrocarbons, propalene, pentalene, and heptalene, the lowest excited singlet state is energetically lower than the corresponding triplet state. This is mainly due to the spin polarization (SP) effects. For D2h, structures of pentalene and heptalene the open-shell excited singlet state is predicted to be lower in energy than the closed-shell state, with the result that the former is really the ground state. Further, calculations made by including electron correlation effects reveal that in linear polyenes and polyacenes, the lowest excited singlet "minus" state (using Pariser's classification of the alternancy symmetry species) is lower in energy than the corresponding triplet state. The energy lowering of the singlet "minus" state in linear polyenes is due mostly to the mixing with the doubly excited configurations (mm → nn), while the considerable part of it in polyacenes is due to the SP effects.
