Abstract
The nature of the first two long-wave bands in the UV spectra of 2-substituted benzimidazoles has been analyzed on the basis of photoelectron spectra (PES). Three basic types of spectroscopic situations are typical of these compounds: 1) a change in the sequence of the occupied MO of the ground state does not influence the order of the excited energy levels; 2) when the π-levels are in the same order, inversion of the excited states occurs; 3) reversal of the occupied π-MO of the ground state causes the inversion of the excited states.
