Abstract

The interaction between Al atoms and trans-polyacetylene has been studied quantum chemically at the ab initio Hartree-Fock level using oligomeric model systems. Investigations of the Al-polyacetylene bonding and modifications to the chemical and electronic structure of model systems for polyacetylene upon interaction with Al atoms are reported. The density-of-states is calculated for a polyene chain interacting with a pair of Al atoms. The results are discussed in relation to photoelectron spectra taken during Al deposition on an oligomeric model for polyacetylene (a diphenylpolyene with 7 C=C bonds in the polyene segment).
