Popis: The dependence of bond order and bond length changes upon the excitation on the molecular topology of linear conjugated systems has been investigated using quantum-chemical methods. It has been found that the molecular geometry and π-bond orders in the excited state of polymethine dyes (odd ionic π-systems) and substituted polyenes (even neutral π-systems) containing residues with their localized MOs differ significantly from that in the typical π-systems having a totally delocalized HOMO and LUMO. Also, the extraordinary π-bond order changes upon excitation have been shown to exist in relatively long polymethine dyes when the symmetry breaking occurs. These results are consistent with spectral data.
