Violation of Hund's multiplicity rule in the electronically excited states of conjugated hydrocarbons is studied by using the Pariser–Parr–Pople type SCF MO method and the abinitio MO method with STO-3G basis set, both methods being augmented by CI-type treatments. It is shown that for symmetrical structures (D2h) of the nonalternant hydrocarbons, propalene, pentalene, and heptalene, the lowest excited singlet state is energetically lower than the corresponding triplet state. This is mainly due to the spin polarization (SP) effects. For D2h, structures of pentalene and heptalene the open-shell excited singlet state is predicted to be lower in energy than the closed-shell state, with the result that the former is really the ground state. Further, calculations made by including electron correlation effects reveal that in linear polyenes and polyacenes, the lowest excited singlet "minus" state (using Pariser's classification of the alternancy symmetry species) is lower in energy than the corresponding triplet state. The energy lowering of the singlet "minus" state in linear polyenes is due mostly to the mixing with the doubly excited configurations (mm → nn), while the considerable part of it in polyacenes is due to the SP effects.
