Quantum spin chains with exact valence-bond ground states are of great interest in condensed-matter physics. A class of such models was proposed by Affleck et al., each of which is su(2)-invariant and constructed as a sum of projectors onto definite total spin states at neighboring sites. We propose to use the machinery of the q-deformation of su(2) to obtain generalisations of such models, and work out explicitly the two simplest examples. In one case we recover the known anisotropic spin-1 VBS model while in the other we obtain a new anisotropic generalisation of the spin-½ Majumdar-Ghosh model.
