摘要
The electronic structure of the prototypical unsaturated and saturated organic polymers polyacetylene and polyethylene is elucidated by a building-up process starting from a linear carbon chain, which is then kinked and finally has one or two hydrogen atoms attached to it. In this process the common features as well as the differences between polyacetylene and polyethylene (semiconductor vs large band gap insulator, unsaturation vs saturation) emerge in a natural way. The emphasis is on bringing together the essential concepts of solid-state physics and simple ideas of chemical bonding. Some topics of special interest, such as bond alternation and solitons in polyacetylene, are also discussed, in as simple and chemical manner as possible.
