description

Abstract Potential surfaces for CC stretch and CH2 twisting of ethylene obtained by the combined SCF CI method lead to the prediction that non-vertical transitions are responsible for the absorption maximum in the VN bands and that the broad diffuse nature of the spectrum in this region could well be caused by the proximity of two states of the same symmetry of the twisted molecule.
