520 |a A very efficient computational procedure, which was previously developed to generate and relax atomistic models of linear and comb-like amorphous polymers, has been adapted to model the amorphous phase of polycyclic systems. The strategy, which is a based in a generation algorithm that eliminates the torsion strain and a simple Monte Carlo Metropolis method to relax the generated structures, has been used to predict the density of amorphous polythiophene by combining NVT and NPT simulations. The theoretical value is in the excellent agreement with the experimental one, the former being overestimated by only 3-5%. Next, the molecular conformation and the packing of the rings were studied in detail. Interestingly, the amorphous phase of polythiophene can be described as a packing of elongated molecular chains more or less aligned in the same direction, in which the thiophene rings close in the space but belonging to different chains tend to adopt approximate parallel or antiparallel displaced pi-stacked arrangements
