Abstract A series of linear polyenes having the side groups, Cl, Me, CN, Ph, and —PhOMe, has been studied by a self-consistent LCAO tight-binding method. It is found that, with normal bond lengths, several of these materials are predicted to be electronic conductors in the solid state. This property is lost, however, when the lattice vector is increased. Of particular interest are the phenyl- and phenoxy-substituted compounds where the rings form conducting paths by transannular overlap. Energy transfer and the effects of disorder and segmental rotation of the backbone are also considered.
