Abstract

Full-CI calculations are performed on the PPP model of alternant cyclic polyenes using a recently developed direct full-CI algorithm based on an expansion in Slater determinants. By exploiting the cyclic symmetry and a partial spin adaptation, we have been able to compute a full-CI wavefunction and energy up to N = 18 on the CRAY YMP 8/432 of the Italian University Computing Centre CINECA. The wavefunctions and energies for the series N = 4ν and N = 4ν + 2 are discussed and their behaviour as functions of N is analyzed.
