Benzene ground and two pi ionized states, 2A2u and 2E1g, have been studied by the self-consistent-field method using contracted Gaussians as basis. Ionization potentials are assigned. A transfer of sigma charge density from hydrogen to carbon has been found to result from electron removal from the pi system.
