The ground-state electronic structure of biphenyl were studied by the use of the CNDO/2 method. It was found that the lengthening of the central C–C bond in biphenyl gave a reasonable minimum point for the potential energy curve. A modified version of the CNDO/2 method was used in order to calculate the electronic spectra of biphenyl for three possible (planar, angular, and vertical) conformations. The method gave a reasonable interpretation of the spectral features of biphenyl.
