PPP and CNDO calculations for protonated molecules

CNDO calculations have been used to obtain the one-centre core integrals for protonated azines required in calculating the ^* absorption spectra of such molecules using the PPP method. Calculated spectra for both the parent and the protonated molecules are obtained in satisfactory agreement with experiment. The changes in the -framework of the molecules on protonation are also discussed in terms of the CNDO results.

The UV spectra of arsines and arsine selenides

Short-wavelength n_Se ^* and long-wavelength n_Se ^* bands are observed in the UV spectra of saturated trialkylarsine selenides in the near-UV region. The n_x ^* band in going from arsine selenides to arsine sulfide and then to arsine oxides is shifted hypsochromically, as in the corresponding phosphorus compounds. The n_x ^* band is only slightly sensitive to the chalcogen. Saturated trialkylarsines, in contrast to alkylphosphines, absorb in the near UV region (the n_As ^* band is at 208 nm).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 940–942, April, 1990.
