Abstract
Molecular geometries of 4H-thiopyrans Ia, Ib and their possible photoi somers IVa - VIIa and IVb - VIIb were optimized by the AM1 and PM3 met hod and used for the calculation of electronic absorption spectra by t he CNDO/S-CI procedure. Comparison of the theoretical data with experi mental UV-VIS absorption spectra made it possible to postulate two pro bable mechanisms of the photocolouration of Ia, Ib caused by sunlight or UV-illumination.
