TLDR
In this paper, the modified CNDO method was used to calculate the electronic spectra of cyclopentadiene, the Cyclopentadienide ion, pyrrole, furan, pyrazole, imidazole, 2-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde, and furfural.
Abstract
The modified CNDO method previously reported has been used to calculate the electronic spectra of cyclopentadiene, the cyclopentadienide ion, pyrrole, furan, pyrazole, imidazole, 2‐pyrrolecarboxaldehyde, and furfural. In general, the results obtained agree quite well with experimental data. Because the CNDO method treats explicitly all σ and π valence electrons of a molecule, the results of the calculations are used to discuss some of the σ–π interactions which previously could not be treated. The calculations are successful in reflecting changes in the electronic spectra of compounds as a result of extending conjugation or addition of a substituent.

Ab initio SCF CI calculations on the ground and π–π* excited states of the pyrrole molecule and its positive ion

TL;DR: In this paper, the SCF π −π* excited states of pyrrole and its positive ion were investigated on the ground and lower π−π * excited states, and the calculated excitation energies for these four states are 6.0, 6.5, 7.1, and 7.3 eV.

Recognition of chiral catechols using oxo-titanium phthalocyanine.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the TiOPc unit is an excellent template for chiral recognition through its isolated Q-transitions and the described chiroptical recognition method is sensitive to slight conformational changes.

Evidence for the formation of biradicaloid charge-transfer (BCT) states in xanthene and related dyes

TL;DR: In this paper, the nonradiative decay rates of various xanthene dyes were determined from temperature-dependent fluorescence lifetime measurements, and an explanation in terms of BCT states acting as photochemical funnels to the ground state was given.

Spectra of cyclopentadienylalkali and cyclopentadienylmagnesium compounds in tetrahydrofuran

TL;DR: In this paper, the results were interpreted in terms of metal cyclopentadienide ion pairs in which the metal atom lies on or near the C5 axis of the cyclophane ion.

Use of the CNDO Method in Spectroscopy. I. Benzene, Pyridine, and the Diazines

TL;DR: In this article, the CNDO method was modified by substitution of semi-empirical Coulomb integrals similar to those used in the Pariser-Parr-Pople method, and by introducing a new empirical parameter κ to differentiate resonance integrals between σ orbitals from those between π orbitals.
