Molecular Orbital Models of Benzene, Biphenyl and the Oligophenylenes

Abstract:

A two state (2-MO) model for the low-lying long axis-polarised excitations of poly(p-phenylene) oligomers and polymers is developed. First we derive such a model from the underlying Pariser-Parr-Pople (P-P-P) model of pi-conjugated systems. The two states retained per unit cell are the Wannier functions associated with the valence and conduction bands. By a comparison of the predictions of this model to a four state model (which includes the non-bonding states) and a full P-P-P model calculat...
