Abstract

This paper aims at communicating what we now know about polyene electronic structure [1], focussing on those features that are especially relevant for the description of electronic structure in linear conjugated polymers such as polyacetylene and the polydiacetylenes. This is most easily done by first discussing the experimental results and their interpretation in terms of electronic structure for trans-octatetraene (Figure 1), and then describing the trends in electronic properties as conformation is changed or the polyene chain length is made shorter or longer.
