This process is denoted as a σ → σ* transition. Likewise, promotion of an electron from a pi-bonding orbital (π) to an antibonding pi orbital (π*) is denoted as a π → π* transition. Auxochromes with free electron pairs (denoted as "n") have their own transitions, as do aromatic pi bond transitions.
In chemistry, π-effects or π-interactions are a type of non-covalent interaction that involves π systems.Just like in an electrostatic interaction where a region of negative charge interacts with a positive charge, the electron-rich π system can interact with a metal (cationic or neutral), an anion, another molecule and even another π system.

Two p-orbitals forming a π-bond. Pi bonds are usually weaker than sigma bonds.The C-C double bond, composed of one sigma and one pi bond, [1] has a bond energy less than twice that of a C-C single bond, indicating that the stability added by the pi bond is less than the stability of a sigma bond.
The p z orbital is the same as the p 0 orbital, but the p x and p y are formed by taking linear combinations of the p +1 and p −1 orbitals (which is why they are listed under the m = ±1 label). Also, the p +1 and p −1 are not the same shape as the p 0 , since they are pure spherical harmonics .
The higher-energy orbital is the antibonding orbital, which is less stable and opposes bonding if it is occupied. In a molecule such as H 2, the two electrons normally occupy the lower-energy bonding orbital, so that the molecule is more stable than the separate H atoms. He 2 electron configuration. The four electrons occupy one bonding orbital ...
The digits of pi extend into infinity, and pi is itself an irrational number, meaning it can’t be truly represented by an integer fraction (the one we often learn in school, 22/7, is not very ...
In chemistry, pi backbonding or π backbonding is a π-bonding interaction between a filled (or half filled) orbital of a transition metal atom and a vacant orbital on an adjacent ion or molecule. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In this type of interaction, electrons from the metal are used to bond to the ligand , which dissipates excess negative charge and ...
What is more commonly observed (see figure to the right) is either a staggered stacking (parallel displaced) or pi-teeing (perpendicular T-shaped) interaction both of which are electrostatic attractive [2] [3] For example, the most commonly observed interactions between aromatic rings of amino acid residues in proteins is a staggered stacked ...
