We present a comparative study of the AIM, CHELPG, GAPT, MK, Mulliken, NPA, and RESP charge distributions associated with a positively charged soliton on increasingly large trans-polyacetylene chains, at HF, MP2, and DFT levels of theory. The charge storage in the soliton-bearing systems is explored in detail, including charge magnitude, charge separation, charge alternation, and chain length e...
