摘要
Theoretical modeling has been applied to study the charge transport (CT) parameters of a high-electron-mobility (n-type) naphthalenetetracarboxydiimide copolymer that was recently synthesized and tested for organic field-effect transistor applications. To understand the physicochemical characteristics of such a material, the intra- and intermolecular CT properties of holes and electrons were investigated using different DFT functionals, evidencing the need of range-separated hybrid functionals to predict key parameters such as the hole and electron reorganization energies. Our calculations revealed clear differences between hole- and electron-charging processes, providing fundamental elements for the rationalization of their transport.
