	abstract = {In order to clarify the electronic state of polyaniline synthesized electrochemically, we analyzed valence X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and core-electron binding energies of N,N{\textquoteright}-Diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine and polyaniline by deMon density-functional theory calculations (DFT) using the molecule and model molecule, respectively. Polyaniline has been synthesized electrochemically from two different thin films on platinum plates in oxidation and reduction states, respectively. Valence XPS of the conductive polymers were analyzed by deMon DFT calculations using model tetramers of the four chemical structural formulae (1S, 2S, 1A, and 2A) which MacDiarmid and co-workers proposed. We can conclude that the oxidized polyanililine corresponds to the 2A type, while the reduction form approximated the 1S type. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.},

The core-electron spectra were simulated with the Gaussian lineshape functions with fixed linewidths of 0.5, and 1.0 eV for each C1sd, and (N1s, O1s, F1s) MO value, respectively, and calculated Al-K alpha Valence photoelectron spectra were obtained using Gaussian lineshape functions of an approximate linewidth (0.08I(k)): I-k(I-FL) = I-k{\textquoteright} - WD, as indicated in previous works. The vertical ionization potential I-k{\textquoteright} and each core-electron binding energy (CEBE) were calculated by restricted generalized diffuse ionization (rGDI) and unrestricted generalized transition-state (uGTS) models, respectively. The theoretical core-electron spectra showed better agreement with the experimental ones of the polymers than those due to Koopmans{\textquoteright} theorem. The difference between the calculated and the experimental CEBEs reflected the reasonable WDs of the polymers. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.},
