Abstract :
The electronic properties of the polymer models involving C60 molecules incorporated into either polymer skeleton or side chain are first examined based on the one-dimensional (1D) tight-binding crystal orbital method in the framework of the extended Hückel approximation. The band structure characteristic of each polymer model is discussed particularly with respect to the interruption of the π-conjugation of the rest of the main chain.
