Molecular geometries of 2,4,4,6-tetraphenyl-4H-pyran (Ia), 4,4-(biphenyl-2,2e-diyl)-2,6-diphenyl-4H-pyran (Ib) and their heterocyclic isomers II-V were optimized by the PM3 method and used for the calculation of electronic absorption spectra by the CNDO/S-CI procedure. Comparison of the theoretical data with experimental UV-VIS absorption spectra made possible to select hypervalent molecules IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb being responsible for the photocolouration of 4H-pyrans Ia, Ib, while compounds Va, Vb, VI and VII come into account as possible photodegradation products. The bleaching process of the UV illuminated compound Ia is analyzed in terms of dispersive first-order reaction kinetics.

Molecular geometries of 4H-thiopyrans Ia, Ib and their possible photoisomers IVa - VIIa and IVb - VIIb were optimized by the AM1 and PM3 method and used for the calculation of electronic absorption spectra by the CNDO/S-CI procedure. Comparison of the theoretical data with experimental UV-VIS absorption spectra made it possible to postulate two probable mechanisms of the photocolouration of Ia, Ib caused by sunlight or UV-illumination.

The radical anions of pyrazine (pz-.) have been prepared at 294'K by reducing pyrazine (pz) with metallic potassium in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (dme). The resulting reactions of the radical anions are postulat'ed as being described by the equations: The e.s.r, and electronic absorption spectra of all pertinent species were recorded and examined. The kinetics of reaction (1) have been investigated in the dark as well as in light and values of the rate constants have been determined. I n light, reaction (1) did not conform strictly to second-order kinetics and this may be explained by an interaction of pyrazine with dme. The dimer dianion species (-pz-pz-, 2K7) was found to be stable in the dark but decayed slowly in light. This decay was found to exhibit first-order kmetics.

The electronic spectra of three diazafluoren-9-one isomers have been measured in cyclohexane solution and the results compared with those of 'molecules in molecules'(MIM) and PPP calculations. A satisfactory agreement between experimental and theoretical data has been found, and five π → π* transitions can be assigned to their uv spectra. For two compounds dipole moments in benzene solution have been measured and results are compared with theoretical values obtained by MIM and CNDO/2 calculations.

The λ-C1-cis(N), δ-C1-cis(N), λ-C2-cis(N) and δ-C2-cis(N) isomers of the complex K[Co((S)-Pro)2CO3] were chromatographically separated and characterized by their electronic absorption spectra and CD spectra.

The effect of the halide ligand on the bonding of niobium in niobocene dichloride and niobocene diiodide was investigated. The electronic absorption spectra of the two compounds in the range of d-d transitions were resolved into four bands corresponding to transitions of the d1 electron between five frontier orbitals in a molecule of symmetry point group C2v. The energies of the frontier molecular orbitals were determined relatively to the energy of the orbitals in the spherically symmetric ligand field formed by the appropriate halide ligands. The effect of the halide ligands on the spin-orbital interaction of the HOMO orbital is discussed qualitatively on the basis the ESR spectra.
