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