Abstract
Further arguments have been gathered to support the applicability (as a variable) of the parameter χ fixed by del Bene and Jaffe in the CNDO/S method. For the heteroaromatic ion I the value 0.585 suggested by these authors is suitable, but for the 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative II agreement between experimental a calculated spectrum can be obtained with χ 0.4. Furthermore, effects of the optimum molecular geometry and width of the configuration interaction on the results of the theoretical treatment are discussed.
