A comparative study of the absorption spectra of o-aminophenols using different quantum-chemical methods

The electron-excited states of o -aminophenol and its derivatives are calculated using the INDO method with a special spectroscopic parametrization and the method based on the density functional theory (ADF code). The results of quantum-chemical calculations are compared with the absorption spectra...

Summary:The electron-excited states of o -aminophenol and its derivatives are calculated using the INDO method with a special spectroscopic parametrization and the method based on the density functional theory (ADF code). The results of quantum-chemical calculations are compared with the absorption spectra of the compounds under study. It is found that the INDO method used for examination of the photophysics of organic molecules provides good results on the energies and intensities of radiation electron transitions in the foregoing compounds.
