Abstract

Ab initio crystal orbital calculations using a Christoffersen basis set have been performed on the relative stabilities of model polyacetylene chains. Results indicate the all-trans isomer as the most stable. Among the cis structures, the cis-transoid backbone is very slightly preferred to the trans-cisoid backbone.
