The Electronic Structures and Electronic Spectra of Benzylidene Methyl Amine N-Oxide and Its Related Compounds

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of benzylidene methyl amine, its protonaddition compound and benzylidene methyl amine N-oxide have been examined under various conditions. SMO calculations on those compounds have been carried out, and various physicochemical properties have been discussed. On the basis of these calculations, the spectra of the above compounds have reasonably been assigned by using the spectroscopic exchange integrals βs(1A1) and βs(1B1), which were evaluated from the spectra and the MO, including C. I., of styrene.
