Abstract

SCF calculations of molecular orbitals and electronic transition energies for angular polyphenes of two through nine benzene rings have been made. The calculated sequences of the singlet and triplet energies of the α, β, β′, and p bands (Clar's notation) are compared to the limited available experimental data.

Zusammenfassung

PPP-Rechnungen mit begrenzter Konfigurationenwechselwirkung wurden für die Reihe der angular anellierten Polyphene durchgeführt. Die berechneten α-, β-, β′- und p-Banden werden mit den wenigen vorhandenen experimentellen Daten verglichen.

Résumé

Calculs SCF des orbitales moléculaires et des énergies de transition électronique pour les polyphenés angulaires de deux à neuf cycles benzeniques. Les séries calculées pour les énergies singulet et triplet des bandes α-, β-, β′ et p (notation de Clar) sont comparées aux quelques données expérimentales disponibles.
