A Hamiltonian of the Pariser–Parr–Pople form is employed to investigate the effect of correlation on the π‐electron spectrum of polyenes. Two limiting cases for the electron–electron interaction (short‐ and long‐range limit) are considered, and it is shown that they yield descriptions corresponding to the standard valence‐bond (Dirac–Heisenberg) and molecular‐orbital models, respectively. The intermediate, chemically most interesting, range is examined in detail by means of a full configuration‐interaction treatment with an exponential model potential that includes a variable effective range parameter. It is shown that correlation effects become more important as the effective range of the interaction decreases. The states of polyenes are classified as covalent or noncovalent, and it is found that the former are much more sensitive to correlation than the latter. Configuration interaction through double excitations yields a qualitatively correct ordering for all states in the chemical range, but triple an...
