Abstract
We investigate the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with an additional bond-charge interaction, recently considered in the description of compounds that exhibit strong 1D features above the temperature of ordered phases. The partition function of the model is exactly calculated for a value of the bond-charge coupling; the behavior of the specific heat and spin susceptibility as a function of temperature is derived at arbitrary filling, and particularly discussed across the occurring metal-insulator transition. The results show that the bond-charge terms weaken the spin excitations of the system.
