Abstract
IT has been shown in ref. 1 that chlorpromazine, the common name for phenothiazine-2-chloro-10-(3 dimethyl aminopropyl), is “a quite extraordinarily strong electron donor”; it is “the first substance ever found in which, in its ordinary stable state, the highest filled level corresponds to an antibonding orbital”. It thus should be expected that chlorpromazine, also in view of its striking physiological activity, should exhibit some interesting electrical properties.
