Energy bandstructures are calculated for-(SiXY-)„polysilane, model compounds in whichX and Y are H, Me, Et, Pr, and Ph (phenyl) substituents. Polysilane has a directly allowed typeband structure, and a-* interband optical transition is allowed. Band-edge states are formed mainly of skeleton Si AOs (atomic orbitals), which results in a skeleton band gap. This skeleton band gap tends to be reduced whenlarger alkyl groups are substituted for side chains. The and* band-edge states are well delocalized on the skeleton axis. Polysilanewith Ph side chains [poly (arylsilane)] exhibits a characteristic band-edge structure due to- mixing between the Si skeleton and Ph side chains. Thisinteraction removes the doubly degenerated Ph t-HOMO states. One state is mixed with theskeleton-valence band state and delocalized along the skeleton axis. The other remains strongly localized in the individual Ph side chains. However, no*-* mixing occurs at the conduction band edge, and no change is seen in the conduction band structure. This results in the intrusion of unoccupied localized states in the skeleton band gap.
