Theory of molecular excitons in the phenyl-based organic semiconductors

Starting from the Pariser-Parr-Pople model of π conjugated systems, a model of the low-lying excitations of poly(para-phenylene) (PPP) and poly(para-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) is introduced, based on the bonding HOMO and LUMO states of the repeat units. The inter-phenyl hybridisation is treated as a p...
