Popis: Structural and spectroscopic properties of the photoisomers of a nitro-substituted spiropyran have been investigated by performing ab initio molecular orbital (MO) calculations both in vacuo and in hexafluoro-2-propanol solution. Full geometry optimisation of the closed form and of the transoid conformations of the open form has been carried out. Dipole moments of both photoisomers have been determined, the ratio of which agrees with recent experimental results. Net atomic charges have also been determined according to three different approaches.
