Abstract

Low-lying singlet and triplet states of all-trans decapentaene and octatetraene are found exactly within the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) model by means of diagrammatic valence bond (VB) theory. The oscillator strength of the dipole-allowed 1 1Ag→1 1Bu transition is also found exactly for correlated states based on linear combinations of VB diagrams, with almost 20000 singlets for the 10 π electrons of decapentaene. Standard PPP parameters account for the available excitation energies of both molecules and for the reduced oscillator strength compared to Hückel theory.
