    Notes: A multi-configuration LCAO-MO approach using a π-bond order-bond length linear relation is introduced to predict the geometrical structures for the electronic ground and excited states of unsaturated hydrocarbons. The procedure is designed to include configuration interaction in each iterative computation where the π-electron approximation is employed under the Pariser-Parr type semi-empirical treatment.The π-bond order-bond length relation is determined as rpq = 1.523 - 0.193Ppq, when the bond lengths of ethylene, benzene and naphthalene are used and the groundstate functions including the singly and doubly excited configurations are taken into account to obtain the bond orders Ppq.The iterative calculation is applied to the ground state and the two lowest excited states of the benzene anion in both D6h and D2h molecular geometries. The geometrical structures and the π-electron energies are computed for the ground and excited states of the anion; for the latter, two types of configuration species are used. It is found that the first lowest excited state is not subjected to the Jahn-Teller effect and the calculated excited state energies do not agree with the observed values (c. 1.0 ∼ 2.5 eV higher than the observed values). The latter point is discussed in detail. It is also found that the resultant ground state energy depression due to configuration mixing is not very large and the two types of configuration species used give different CI effects on the energy levels of the two lowest excited states of the anion.Finally, the stabilization energy due to the Jahn-Teller distortion is estimated for the ground state of the anion.

    Notes: The method of the MC-LCAO-MO approach, described in the preceding paper, is further applied to the benzene cation. Through the iteration process the π-electron energies and the molecular shapes are computed for the ground and two lowest excited states of the cation in both D6h and D2h geometries. A remarkable fact obtained is that a comparatively small variation of the geometrical structure (c. 0.010 - 0.013 Å bond length difference) brings about a considerable change of the energy value (c. 0.85 - 1.25 eV).The π-electronic excitation energies obtained from the iteration process are compared with the transition energies calculated from the usual method in which the structures of the excited states are assumed to be the same as the corresponding ground state structures. The difference in the excitation energy between the cation and the anion, and the CI effect on the excited states, are discussed. It is found that the doubly excited configurations play an important role in CI, which is somewhat different from that of the singly excited configurations. The stabilization energy due to the Jahn-Teller distortion is estimated for the ground state of the cation.
