Abstract

The technological importance of higher acenes has led to resurgence of interest in synthesizing higher acenes such as octacene, nonacene etc. Recently, Tönshoff and Bettinger [2010 Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 49 4125] have synthesized octacene and nonacene. Motivated by their work, we have performed large-scale calculations of linear optical absorption of octacene and nonacene. Methodology adopted in our work is based upon Pariser-Parr-Pople model (PPP) Hamiltonian, along with large-scale multi-reference singles-doubles configuration interaction (MRSDCI) approach.
