Notes:
Configuration interaction singles (CIS) calculations of the planar T1 state of hexatriene, octatetraene, decapentaene, and dodecahexaene showed that the (HOMO-i)→(LUMO+i) type single excitations contribute significantly. This is attributed to the similarity of the HOMO, LUMO, and HOMO-i, LUMO+i overlap densities which stem from nodal properties of the π molecular orbitals. CASSCF calculations for hexatriene and octatetraene also showed remarkable contributions of the (HOMO-i)→(LUMO+i) type singly excited configurations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
