Abstract
Through MNDO geometry optimizations and VEH band-structure calculations on both cis- and trans-polybutadiene and polyisoprene, it is shown that the polymers with skewed conformations possess an HOVB width on the order of 0.79-0.93 eV. The solid state ionization potentials are found to be too large to allow for oxidation by iodine and formation of ethylenic radical cations
