The non‐planar conformations of benzylideneanilines and the almost planar conformations of stilbene and azobenzene are consistently reproduced by a simple model, which takes into account the dependence of π‐electron energy and non‐bonded interactions on molecular conformation. Other aspects of the molecular geometry of benzylideneanilines.(bond angles influence of p ‐substituents) are also discussed.
