As reported in previous papers, z the ultraviolet absorption spectra of fully aromatic esters and thiolesters show that the three main electronic transitions expected in these compounds are largely independent of one another and strongly indicate that in certain of these thiolesters, in an activated state, the sulfur atom uses a ad-orbital, expanding its valence shell to a decet. In the light of these results, it was expected that an indication of expansion ...
