The optimized molecular structures of doped polyacetylene model compounds are studied by the ab initio SCF MO method. The calculated structures are assigned to polaron, charged soliton and poison unit. The one dimensional energy band structures of the charged soliton-antisoliton and the polson-antipolson lattices are investigated. The latter one gives a quasi-metallic energy band. The results of the energy band calculation are consistent with the electrical properties and ultraviolet photoemission spectra of the doped polyacetylene.
