Abstract

Ab initio Gaussian type calculations are reported for the ground and excited states of the hypothetical molecule formaldimine (H2CNH). The C=N group is compared with the C=O group.

Zusammenfassung

Die Ergebnisse einer ab initio Rechnung mit Gau\-Orbitalen für das hypothetische Formaldimin-Molekül (H2CNH) werden mitgeteilt. Es werden sowohl Grundzustand als auch einige angeregte ZustÄnde untersucht und die beiden Gruppen C=O und N=O verglichen.

Résumé

On présente les résultats de calculs ab initio utilisant une base Gaussienne pour la molécule hypothétique de formaldimine (H2CNH). L'étude porte sur l'état fondamental et quelques états excités. Une comparaison est faite entre le groupement C=N et le groupement C=O.
