Abstract: The electronic structure of a series of azo-dye molecules was calculated by MNDOmethod in this paper. It was found that the biodegradation of azo-bond was greatly affected by the symmetry of the charges distribution in molecular structure in comparison with the anaerobic breakdown experimental results, then the electronic structure biodegradability relationship was described by means of LUMOlp(lowest unoccupied molecular orbit with the characteristics of lone electron pair) and molecular dipole moment.

Key words: Azo-dye, MNDO method, Electronic structure, Biodegradability
