The electronic structures of simplified poly(disilanylene(thienylene)(n)) (n = 1-5) have been studied in detail on the basis of the one-dimensional tight-binding self-consistent field-crystal orbital method. The result suggests that the sp(3)-hybridized orbital of silicon atoms almost cuts off the pi-conjugation occurring from the thienylene units. The pi-pi* interband transition energy becomes smaller with an increase of n (number of thiophene rings), while the sigma-sigma* one shows almost no change. Electronic structures of poly(ethylene(thienylene)(n)) (n = 1-3), poly(silylene(thienylene)(n)) (n = 1), and polythiophene have also been examined for comparison.
