Abstract We have studied the energy spectra and the electronic states of a soliton in the weakly coupled electron-phonon systems using an extension of SSH model that includes non-nearest neighbor hopping interactions. The results show that: (1) the electron-hole symmetry of the energy band structure implied by SSH model is broken, and the energy gap 2Δ increases. (2) for a negative charged soliton, only two bound states have been found, one of them is the midgap state, another is a new shallow state near the bottom of the conduction band; for a neutral soliton, all three bound states exist as in the SSH model, but their localizations are strengthened; for a positive charged soliton, four bound states have been found, one of which is an additional state near the top of the conduction band.
