A VE.SCF.CI. calculation of the excited states of nitramide, N-methyl nitramine, and N,Ndimethyl nitramine has been carried out. The assignments for the latter two have been extended to other unconjugated, primary and secondary aliphatic nitramines. All valence electrons, i.e., 6, x-and %-electrons, except for the oxygen atom 2s lone pairs, were included in the calculation. The necessity of including electrons occupying sigma bonds adjacent to the " chromophore " has been illustrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
