The transition moment associated with this absorption is approximately parallel to the long axis of the coumarin-benzothiazolyl head group, based on a semiempirical calculation of an isolated molecule using the ZINDO/S method with configuration interaction on the AM1 optimized geometry, performed with the software package Hyperchem.
