Abstract

The absorption and emission spectra of the six isomeric di-pyridyl-ketones have been investigated in solvents of different polarity. The experimental data have shown that the lowest singlet and triplet states of these molecules are due to nπ* excitation, localized on the carbonyl. CNDO/S calculations of singlet excitation energies on geometries optimized by means of MNDO were performed and found to be in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
