Preferred Label : n σ* transition;
IUPAC definition : An electronic transition described approximately as promotion of an electron from
a 'non-bonding' (lone-pair) n orbital to an 'antibonding' σ orbital designated
as σ*. Such transitions generally involve high transition energies and appear close
to or mixed with Rydberg transitions.;
