Abstract

Abstract The transition energy and geometry of the lowest excited (nπ*) singlet and triplet states of CO, CS, HNO, H2CO, HFCO, and F2CO molecules are calculated by CNDO/S and CNDO/2‐VN−1 potential methods, and the results are compared with those of experimental and ab initio theoretical studies, wherever available. In the calculation of the vertical transition energy, the performance of the CNDO/S method is seen to be generally more satisfactory than that of the CNDO/2‐VN−1 potential method, while the reverse is true for the excited‐state geometry. The CNDO/S method as such fails to describe the geometry of the excited state, but a combined version (CNDO/S‐2) of CNDO/S and CNDO/2, as well as the CNDO/2‐VN−1 potential method is fairly successful in this regard.
