Abstract

The electronic structure of organic and inorganic polymeric systems are well described in terms of their molecular symmetry, even with the large bond polarity shown by such systems as polyphosphazenes. We have performed calculations using the semi-empirical CNDO/1 method to determine the valence electronic structure for a series of model phosphonitrilic and organic compounds. The optical transition energies for phosphonitrilic compounds are greater than their organic counterparts as a result of in-plane π’ bonding interactions. The extent of these interactions is modulated by the electronegativity of the substituent groups on the phosphorus atoms. We report values for the vertical ionization energy and electronic absorption wavelengths, and use molecular orbital contour analysis to show the effects of ligand electronegativity on the π’ network.
