The effective exchange integrals in the Heisenberg model are calculated by local and nonlocal DFT methods, and they are compared with those of complete active space (CAS) CI, CASSCF, and CASPT2. It is concluded that nonlocal DFT with density-gradient corrections can be used as a practical alternative to UCCSD(T) and CASPT2. The broken-symmetry Unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) and DFT calculations of m-phenylene polyradicals with polar substituents are carried out to elucidate roles of superexchange interactions arising from the significant mixing of charge-transfer (CT) configurations. The resonance of covalent structures with CT or zwitterionic structures entails antiferromagnetic exchange interactions even in polyradicals with m-phenylene bridges; for example, substituted nitroxide polyradicals. Stable ferromagnetic polymers and dendrimers are designed on the basis of the theoretical grounds. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. S0021-9606(00)30837-6.
