The ground-state energies of polyacenes and polyphenanthrenes are obtained with the density-matrix renormalization group method from finite up to infinite lengths under the classical valence bond theory. In comparison with the exact valence bond results, numerical errors of retaining various numbers of states are all less than 10(-5) J. Meanwhile, the linear equations in terms of the chain length are deduced for the groundstate energies of these two homologous series. And the energy gaps between the lowest singlet and triplet states (S-T gap) are also evaluated. On the other hand, the relative local hexagon energy converges as the chain length increases, and leading to an effective conjugated length of n = 12 for polyacene and polyphenanthrene.
