Abstract

For a π‐molecular system containing two symmetry‐equivalent heteroatoms, a qualitative relationship between the difference in the n‐ionization potentials (Δ__IP__) and the difference between the n → π* excitation energies (ΔΔ__E__) is derived, using semi‐localized orbitals as a basis. The comparison between Δ__IP__ and ΔΔ__E__ yields information about the energies and/or the shapes of the two lone pair MO's in the model system. The results provide further insight into ‘through space’ and ‘through bond’ interaction concept introduced by Hoffmann.
