Determination of the charge transport abilities of polymorphs [C<Subscript>6</Subscript>F<Subscript>5</Subscript>Cu]<Subscript>2</Subscript>(4,4′-bipy) with different interactions: a density functional theoretical investigation

Due to the different molecular stacking conformations, two kinds of intermolecular interactions, arene–arene π-stacking interaction and Cu–Cu interaction coexist in the polymorphs of [C₆F₅Cu]₂(4,4′-bipy) crystals, 3-α and 3-β. However, the relative magnitude of the two kinds of intermolecular interactions in 3-α and 3-β is different. With the help of first-principle band structure calculations, the relationship between the charge transport abilities and the intermolecular interactions in the two polymorphs was investigated for the first time. The analysis of band structures and Г point wave functions of the band-edge state in the valence band of crystal 3-α shows that the Cu–Cu interaction so-called cuprophilic interaction determines the hole transport ability, although this interaction is weaker than that in crystal 2 of C₆F₅Cu(py) discussed in our previous work, which is a promising hole transport material. For polymorph crystal 3-β, the wave functions of LUMO are mainly localized on the bipyridine (bpy) groups, which are result from the arene–arene π-stacking interaction between the bpy groups. Such a π–π stacking interaction dominates the electron transport ability in the conduction band of 3-β and makes the electron main carrier for transporting. The results are also supported by the analysis of effective masses and density of states (DOS). Thus, the charge transport properties are dominated by different intermolecular interactions due to the different molecule stacking in the two polymorphs.     

Theoretical characterization of hole mobility in BTBPD

(E)-5,5'-Bis(5-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-1,1'-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-[3,3'-bipyrrolylidene]-2,2'(1H,1'H)-dione (BTBPD) has been reported by Zhang and co-workers. To further understand the charge-transporting nature of BTBPD, the density-functional theory (DFT) and the Marcus charge transfer theory were performed. The character of the frontiermolecular orbitals, reorganization energies and transfer integrals in different directions were considered in details. The results revealed that the BTBPD has high hole transport efficiency (μ = 0.29 cm2 V-1 s-1). The intermolecular π-π interaction and S…S interaction provide the holes transport channels.     

Comparable charge transport property based on S…S interactions with that of π-π stacking in a bis-fused tetrathiafulvalene compound

Compact molecular packing with short π-π stacking and large π-overlap in organic semiconductors is desirable for efficient charge transport and high carrier mobility.Thus charge transport anisotropy along different directions is commonly observed in organic semiconductors.Interestingly,in this article,we found that comparable charge transport property were achieved based on the single crystals of a bis-fused tetrathiafulvalene derivative(EM-TTP) compound along two interaction directions,that is,the multiple strong S…S intermolecular interactions and the π-π stacking direction,with the measured electrical conductivity and hole mobility of 0.4 S cm~(-1),0.94 cm~2 V~(-1) s~(-1) and 0.2 S cm~(-1),0.65 cm2 V~(-1) s~(-1),respectively.This finding provides us a new molecular design concept for developing novel organic semiconductors with isotropic charge transport property through the synergistic effect of multiple intermolecular interactions(such as S…S interactions) and π-π stacking.     

Time‐dependent density functional theory study on direction‐dependent electron and hole transfer processes in molecular systems

We report on real‐time time‐dependent density functional theory calculations on direction‐dependent electron and hole transfer processes in molecular systems. As a model system, we focus on α‐sulfur. It is shown that time scale of the electron transfer process from a negatively charged S₈ molecule to a neighboring neutral monomer is comparable to that of a strong infrared‐active molecular vibrations of the dimer with one negatively charged monomer. This results in a strong coupling between the electrons and the nuclei motion which eventually leads to S₈ ring opening before the electron transfer process is completed. The open‐ring structure is found to be stable. The similar infrared‐active peak in the case of hole transfer, however, is shown to be very weak and hence no significant scattering by the nuclei is possible. The presented approach to study the charge transfer processes in sulfur has direct applications in the increasingly growing research field of charge transport in molecular systems. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Controlling Electrical Conductance through a π‐Conjugated Cruciform Molecule by Selective Anchoring to Gold Electrodes

Tuning charge transport at the single‐molecule level plays a crucial role in the construction of molecular electronic devices. Introduced herein is a promising and operationally simple approach to tune two distinct charge‐transport pathways through a cruciform molecule. Upon in situ cleavage of triisopropylsilyl groups, complete conversion from one junction type to another is achieved with a conductance increase by more than one order of magnitude, and it is consistent with predictions from ab initio transport calculations. Although molecules are well known to conduct through different orbitals (either HOMO or LUMO), the present study represents the first experimental realization of switching between HOMO‐ and LUMO‐dominated transport within the same molecule.     

Structure‐Independent Conductance of Thiophene‐Based Single‐Stacking Junctions

The experimental investigation of intermolecular charge transport in π‐conjugated materials is challenging. Herein, we describe the investigation of charge transport through intermolecular and intramolecular paths in single‐molecule and single‐stacking thiophene junctions by the mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ) technique. We found that the ability for intermolecular charge transport through different single‐stacking junctions was approximately independent of the molecular structure, which contrasts with the strong length dependence of conductance in single‐molecule junctions with the same building blocks, and the dominant charge‐transport path of molecules with two anchors transited from an intramolecular to an intermolecular path when the degree of conjugation increased. An increase in conjugation further led to higher binding probability owing to the variation in binding energies, as supported by DFT calculations.     

Synthesis of 3,3,5,5-tetrabenzyl-1,2,4-trithiol and 1,2-dis(1,3-arylpropan-2-yl)disulfane

Novel sulfur-containing compounds (3a-3c, 4a-4c) were obtained in ethanol with 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone as the starting material. The advantages of this procedure were mild reaction conditions, simple protocol, and high yields. The structures of the products were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, MS and elementary analysis. The crystal of the new compound 4a belongs to monoclinic, space group C2 with a = 18.727(3), b = 6.5179(9), c = 13.7576(18)Å, β = 131.0610(10)°, V = 1266.2(3)Å3, Z = 2, Dc = 2.136 g/cm3, μ = 1.078 mm-1, F(0 0 0) = 843, R = 0.0490 and wR = 0.1247 for 3211 observed reflection with I > 2σ(I). X-ray analysis reveals that the molecule is not symmetrical, the molecular structure is stabilized by weak π-π stacking interactions, and no classical hydrogen bonds can be observed.

具有樟脑基衍生物作为立体位阻β-二酮的环金属铂配合物: 一种有效降低分子间π-π相互作用和Pt-Pt相互作用的新途径

合成了一类以立体位阻樟脑基衍生物作为辅助配体的环金属铂(II)配合物并对它们的化学结构、晶体结构和发光性质进行了表征. 这类新化合物的结构简式为: ppyPt(O^O), ppy表示主配体(2-苯基吡啶), O^O表示在樟脑基3位上具有不同乙酰取代基团的位阻β-二酮. 单晶结构研究表明, 虽然这些配合物同其他具有简单β-二酮(如乙酰丙酮等)的环金属铂(II)配合物一样具有正方形的平面构形, 同时配合物分子间也具有平面堆积模式, 但是, 由于配合物中的樟脑基团具有很大的空间位阻, 致使配合物的分子平面之间产生相互错动, 配合物分子中的芳香环基团不能产生有效的重叠, 所以这些配合物具有非常弱的π-π 相互作用. 分子平面的相互错动也使得金属铂之间产生很大的距离(Pt-Pt最短距离超过6 Å). 这些结果都表明在β-二酮中引入樟脑基团能够有效降低分子间π-π 相互作用和Pt-Pt 相互作用. 溶液发光光谱的研究表明, 除配合物2外, 这些化合物具有较高的磷光效率. 同时, 这些配合物的固体发光光谱具有结构发射特征, 最大发射波长仅比相应的溶液发光光谱相差几个纳米, 表明分子间没有激基复合物产生. 分子间非常弱的π-π 相互作用、有结构的固体发光性质和较高的磷光效率表明在掺杂磷光发光器件甚至在非掺磷光发光杂器件中, 这类磷光材料都具有潜在的应用价值.
