Abstract
The band gap of solid is found to be 2.3±0.1 eV. The on-site molecular Coulomb interaction (U) as determined from the KVV Auger spectrum is found to be 1.6±0.2 eV. This value of U is shown to lead to Frenkel-type molecular excitons in the 1.5–2 eV range. These results lead us to suggest that doped should be considered as a highly correlated system with U/W comparable to that in high- cuprates and that stoichiometric is a Mott-Hubbard insulator with a gap of about 0.7 eV.
