Abstract
We theoretically characterised properties of the electronic ground and excited Franck–Condon state of 2-alkylamino-(3, 5, or 6)-methyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxides. The obtained results of time-dependent density functional theory calculations are consistent with the experimental absorption spectra. The nature of the lowest excited states of the considered Noxides molecules is discussed. Two excited singlet states (in the midst of four lowest states) have the charge-transfer character. These states have different charge-transfer contribution of the two electron donor groups to the same electron acceptor. In consequence, different conditions for the promotion of intramolecular proton transfer in excited state are created in each case.
