13. Since the lone pairs of the nitrogen atoms in azines have partial s-character, one might consider the interaction between them and π-orbitals of the adjacent CN bonds as hyperconjugation. We, nonetheless, prefer to follow the standard IUPAC convention (P. Muller, Pure Appl. Chem., 1994, 66, p. 1077) defining the interaction between π-orbitals and lone pairs as conjugation and reserving the term hyperconjugation for the interaction between π- and σ-orbitals

15. Although Mulliken charges cannot be trusted quantitatively, they reflect properly the general trends in charge distributions in a series of similar molecules and are therefore suitable in the context of our qualitative discussion of charge transfer
