Summary

We consider an interchain interaction model to understand the spectral properties of aggregates of conjugated polymers which belong to the family of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, abundant in interstellar medium. As a typical model of aggregation, we have calculated the dressed eigenstates for the equivalent and inequivalent chain-dimers with classified symmetry. The various disorder-induced effects on the spectra can be explained by the dimeric chains which are generally inequivalent.
