Abstract

This review covers the basic ideas and recent developments in the CEO framework for computing the optical excitations of large conjugated systems and connecting them directly with the motions of electron-hole pairs in real space. Illustrative examples are given, including linear polyenes, donor/acceptor substituted oligomers, poly-phenylenevinylene (PPV) oligomers, chlorophylls, naphthalene and PPV dimers, phenylacetylene dendrimers, and photosynthetic light-harvesting antenna complexes.
