Abstract
Phenylene ethynylene oligomers are valuable as linear chain molecules with extended conjugation length and as precursors of well defined macrocycles. In this work, we investigated at the second order Moller-Plesset perturbati on theory level the relative stability between helices and chains formed by phenylene ethynylene oligomers connected in ortho- and meta- positions of the phenyl rings.
