Abstract:

 In this paper, the coplanar polypyrrole (PPY), poly(3-methyl) pyrrole(PMPY) and their stereo-partners with ring torsion angles 30°,60°,90°are calculated by using LCAO-SCF ab initio crystal method. The band structures of this system are discussed and analyzed. The charge distribution of the system are also discussed on the basis of Mülliken population analysis. Our results are well consistent with the experimental and other theoretical results.

Key words: Polypyrrole, Poly(3-methyl)pyrrole, Band structure, Ab initio
