Crystalline polydiacetylenes (PDA) provide a model system for conjugated polymers. Monomer crystals where the polymer content is very low give access to the electronic structure of a 1D straight periodic isolated chain. PDA are known to exist as crystals in two electronic structures, the so-called 'blue' and 'red' phases. In 3BCMU crystals, blue and red chains coexist, so that the electronic properties of both types of chains in the same environment can be compared. In both cases fluorescence originates from the 1 B u exciton state. The blue exciton lifetime is 140 fs, its fluorescence quantum yield is small (10-4) and the relaxation is dominated by non radiative processes via low lying A g states as in polyenes. On the contrary, for red chains the exciton state is highly fluorescent (quantum yield 0.30), its lifetime is 52 ps at 15 K, implying a short radiative lifetime <100 ps. Recent results on the temperature dependence of lifetime and fluorescence yield imply the presence of states, thermally accessible from the exciton state, but non radiant to the ground state. This is consistent with a non planar conformation of the chain.

We have implemented the Coupled-Cluster Equation of Motion (CC-EOM) with single and double excitations coupled with semiempirical parameterizations, Pariser–Parr–Pople model and INDO Hamiltonians, to investigate the optical and nonlinear optical properties, electronic structures and the excited states properties for the conjugated polymers. The semiempirical parameters allow us to study the conjugated systems with extensive sizes. Firstly, by comparing with the quasi-exact Density Matrix Renormalization Group theory for the 1D conjugated chain, we find that the CC-EOM approach can give satisfactory results for both the ground state and the excited states energies. We demonstrate that our approach can be adopted to evaluate linear and nonlinear response. We find that both the real and imaginary parts of the third-order polarizability can be solved either for static and dynamic responses. Then we apply the CC-EOM approach to study the optical signatures for the polarons in conjugated polymers. We have established a solid relationship between the rigidity of a polymer and its optical signature of the polarons.
