A molecular-orbital-based molecular mechanics method (MOMM) has been employed to derive the structures of benzene, pyridine, pyrazine, 1, 4-dihydrobenzene, 1, 4-dihydropyrazine, 1, 4-dioxin, and 1, 4-dithiin. The oligomerstructures of the above compounds have also been calculated by using the same method to derive the unit cells of polyacene, poly (pyridinopyridine), poly (pyrazinopyrazine), poly (l, 4-dihydrobenzo-l, 4-dihydrobenzene), poly (1, 4-dihydropyrazino-1, 4-dihydropyrazine), poly (1, 4-dioxino-1, 4-dioxin), and poly (1, 4-dithiino-1, 4-dithiin), poly (p-phenylene), poly (p-pyrazine), poly (pl, 4-dihydrobenzene), poly (p-1, 4-dihydropyrazine), poly (/?-dioxin), and poly (p-dithiin). The band structures, densities of states, ionization potentials, bandgaps, reduction potentials, and oxidation potentials of these polymers have then been calculated by using the Valence Effective Hamiltonian method (VEH). Poly (p-pyrazine) is predicted to have about the same conduction characteristics as poly (p-phenylene), the former being slightly less p-dopable by acceptors while being slightly more n-dopable by donors. In contrast to previously reported values and interpretation, our results are more in line with experimental data for poly (pyridinopyridine) and poly (pyrazinopyrazine). Pitfalls of the current VEH parametrization are discussed. Hetero atoms have been found to makeconsiderable modifications for these polymers. Sulfur-substituted polymers are found to be particularly interesting in terms of conductingpolymers. The structural effects on electronic properties are discussed.Theoretical calculations have been widely applied to interpret and organize results and to resolve chemical mysteries. The most important role theoretical calculations may play forthe future is probably to make correct predictions before any costly exper-imental work begins. Unfortunately, there is currently no single method that is adequate for all problems in terms of both the calculated accuracy and the required computer time. Thus, systematic studies should be encouraged. Such studies may be necessary for useful predictions because they increase the effec-tiveness of “cancellation of errors” and make systematic corrections
