Electronic properties of pure and doped polyacetylenes

Abstract
The electronic properties of pure polyacetylene have been studied on the basis of the one-dimensional tight-binding LCAO-SCF-MO calculations. It is deduced that the sudden occurrence of high electrical conductivity in polyacetylenes doped with electron donors or acceptors is essentially brought about by the transfer of an electron from the highest occupied band ( pi ) or to the lowest unoccupied band ( pi *) of the parent polyacetylene.
