Abstract
The density of valence one-electron states (DOVS) for different regular (periodic) and irregular models of segmented polyacetylene chains is computed with the Negative Factor Counting technique. To help in the interpretation of the evolution of the DOVS curves with the type of distribution in sp3 defects, a comparison of the results is made with VEH calculations on regular infinite chains. A discussion on the interruption of conjugation introduced in polyacetylene by the sp3 defects follows.
