Abstract Taking into account the electron correlation by the method of alternant molecular Orbitals the energy spectrum ofα,ω-substituted polyenes X-(CH)2n -X with (2n+2)π-electrons has been studied. In reasonable agreement with values estimated from available experimental spectral data of homologous polyendiones the energy gap forn→ ∞ was found to be in the same order of magnitude as for unsubstituted polyenes. The effect of the bond alternation should be small.
