Theoretical results on the geometric and electronic structures of some donor-acceptor polymers based on polythiophene (X=S), polyfuran (X=O) and polypyrrole (X=NH) were obtained, using a one-dimensional tight-binding self-consistent field crystal-orbital (SCF-CO) method at the MNDO-AM1 level of approximation. The repeat unit of these polymers consits of a bithiophene, furan or bipyrrole unit bridged by an electron-accepting group or. The optimized geometries of the polymers show a strong dependence on the nature of the electron donating group X. All the polymers studied are predicted to have band gap values ranging between 1 eV and 2 eV. An analysis of their π-bond order data and of the patterns of their frontier orbitals shows they have benzenoid-like electronic structures.
