    Notes: Extensional elastic moduli have been calculated for several organic high polymers based on the modified neglect of diatomic overlap (MNDO) Hamiltonian. Standard semiempirical methods, by application of the Born-von Karman boundary conditions, can be used to calculate heats of formation of polymer chain sections, or computational unit cells, called clusters. Unit cell heats of formation at elongated translation vectors, combined with experimental or estimated densities, allow for the calculation of elastic moduli. Two potential sources of error were identified: (a) finite geometry optimization can result in pseudorandom errors in the calculated heat of formation, and (b) anharmonic distortion can become significant at large strains. Errors due to both causes can typically be minimized if strains between 3 and 10% are selected. As expected, the calculated moduli, although higher than those observed experimentally, agree with longitudinal values for perfectly oriented systems.

    Notes: It is shown that infinite long polyacene chains may have three energetically close but structurally distinct isomers (a symmetrical, sym, form and two lower symmetry forms: one with double bonds in a trans and another isomer with double bonds in a cis pattern). The energetics is based on solid state MNDO theory. We discuss that the symmetrical form has a substantial energy gap Eg in the Hartree-Fock approach owing to exact exchange terms, which are nonlocal. Broken symmetry Hartree-Fock (HF) solutions for polyacene are also described. An angularly distorted structure suggested earlier on Jahn-Teller grounds is found to be energetically not favorable.

    Notes: When conventional matrix algebra is used to solve the semiempirical self-consistent field equations for large systems, the time required rises as the third power of the size of the system. A consequence of this is that self-consistent calculations of large systems such as enzymes are impractical. By using localized molecular orbitals instead of matrix methods, the time required for these systems can be made almost proportional to the size of the system. In partial geometry optimizations, the time required depends only upon the size of the fragment being optimized and is almost independent of the size of the whole system. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
