abstract = {In this paper, we report a comparative parametric method 6 (PM6) and Recife model 1 (RM1) study of trans-stilbene in its ground and (excited) singlet, triplet and ionic (positive and negative polarons and bipolarons) states. We evaluated the accuracy of the recently developed PM6 and RM1 comparing the obtained results with other semi-empirical, ab initio methods and available experimental data. PM6 and RM1 predict non-planar ground and singlet states for trans-stilbene, in agreement with the PM5 and the Austin model 1. On the other hand, the PM3 predicts planar configurations, which is in agreement with the available experimental data. PM6 and RM1 overestimate the cis–trans isomerisation energy as well as the ionisation potential of both cis- and trans-stilbene. In spite of the developments of these new methods, PM3 continues to be the only one of these methods to correctly predict the conformation of stilbene.},

Combining different numbers of PPP and PPV units it is possible, in principle, to obtain new structures presenting intermediate gap values (2.8 eV and 2.4 eV for PPP and PPV, respectively). For this study we used a Hückel Hamiltonian tight-binding coupled to the negative factor counting (NFC) technique. We carried out a systematic search to determine optimum relative concentrations for disordered binary polymeric alloys with predefined gap values. Once these structures were obtained, we used the semiempirical methods AM1/PM3 and ZINDO/S-CI for geometrical and optical studies, respectively.
