Abstract

This paper reports Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) type calculations on the polyphenyl series. It is found that series limits exist for the ionization potential and the p-band of the electronic spectrum. Studies on members of the series with non-planar geometry indicate that the most stable conformation in the isolated molecule is that in which the neighbouring rings are oriented at about 50° to each other.
