Tlx c\ch.ange coupling constant J in bis(diethyldithiourbamato)copper (II) has been derived through analysis of the i_PK g wluc~ and linewidth as J function of orientation, frequency and temperature. The single line in the ac*_hne is due to the a\er.@tz of the tine-structure splitting by interdimer exchange for which D lower limit of 0.02 cm has been obr~inrd. .Anai)sic of the spectra in the br plane gives an estimate of 0.008 cm-’ for the intersite exchxqe.

(part
of the observ-
ed splitting of bands 3 and 4 may be of pseudo-JahnTeller origin)_ However, the large shift of band 3 relative to the small shift of band 4 on methyl substitution in the S-position is only consistent with assignment of band 3 to the 2bl(rr) and band 4 to the la2(rr) level. This follows from the different amplitudes of the corresponding MOs in this position (fig. 2). The excellent performance of the naive HMO model is remarkable, particularly in the case of the problematic II levels. Not only is the actual shape of the n-type MOs (e.g. fig. 3) much more complicated than indicated by the simple “lone-pair” combinations $I~, $2 and rj3, but also serious breakdown of Koopmans’ approximation has been predicted for the azines [9] _ Nevertheless, experience has shown that all significant effects can effectively be absorbed into empirical parameters such asA,,‘% orIho93c mem,“ndqp, [1,2,3J-It should further be noted that the obvious similarity of the PE spectra of 1 and 1,3,5triazine [l] is easily understandable in terms of the HMO model (section
