## Abstract Electronic absorption spectra of compounds containing a thiocarbonyl group bound to carbon, sulphur or oxygen are reported. The spectra were taken, whenever possible, in cyclohexane, ethanol and concentrated sulphuric acid. The bands are compared with those of nitrogen‐containing thion

Abstract
The basicities of four N,N‐dimethylthioamides, of thiourea and all the N‐methylated thioureas, of ethylenethiourea, N,N′‐dimethylethylenethiourea and trimethylenethiourea, of S‐methyl N,N‐dimethyldithiocarbamate and ‐dimethyl trithiocarbonate, were determined. Measurements were made spectrophotometrically in aqueous sulphuric acid of various strengths and attempts were made to correct the absorption values for solvent effects. In methylated thioureas both electronic and steric effects influence the acidity constants. These effects appear to be of comparable magnitude. The results on the dithiocarbamate and trithiocarbonate show that in these compounds the basicity is determined by the negative inductive rather than by the positive mesomeric effect of the methylmercapto group. The amino group exerts a strong mesomeric action as expected.

## Abstract An empirical LCAO MO method, in which self‐consistency was introduced, was applied to molecules of the general structure ABCS and ACS~2~^−^, in which A and B are saturated radicals bonded to the thione or dithioate group by carbon, sulphur, oxygen or nitrogen. The transition energies
