Introducing different substituents into the pyrene core leads to different crystal packing motifs, and the charge carrier mobility can be effectively modulated by the introduction of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups.

The effects of different connection modes on the electronic structure, electron injection ability, air stability and charge transport properties were researched. Further weak interaction was investigated to analyze the influence of terminal group and the different backbone on molecular packing.

The structures of 5,5′-bis(naphth-2-yl)- 2,2′-bithiophene (NaT2), 5,5″-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2′-terthiophene (NaT3), 5,5‴-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴-tetrathiophene (NaT4), 5,5″″-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴:5‴,2″″-quinquethiophene (NaT5) and 5,5′″″-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴:5‴,2″″:5″″,2′″″-sexithiophene (NaT6) have been optimized at PBE1PBE/6-31G* level of theory. By increasing the chain length (thiophene units) energy gap decreases. The hole reorganization energy also decreases from NaT2–NaT6 . We have observed that mobility of NaT5 and NaT6 can be enhanced by minimizing the polarization and relaxation. The end-capped naphthyl groups have been rotated from 0°–60° in the case study of NaT2 , it was found that hole reorganization energy increases with the increment in angle. Furthermore the charge transport properties of 5,5′-bis(thionaphth-2-yl)-2,2′-bithiophene (TNT2), 5,5″-bis(thionaphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene (TNT3), and 5,5‴-bis(thionaphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴-quaterthiophene (TNT4) have been investigated at the same level of theory. It has been studied that cis isomers have higher hole reorganization energies as compared to trans ones thus these isomers would diminish the mobility.

Based on first-principles calculations, the relationship between molecular packing and charge-transport parameters has been investigated and analysed in detail. It is found that the crystal packing forces in the flexible organic molecule 4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)aniline salicylaldehyde hydrazone (A) can apparently overcome the dynamic intramolecular rotations and the intramolecular steric repulsion, effectively enhancing the molecular rigidity and decreasing the internal reorganization energy. The conducting properties ofAhave also been simulated within the framework of hopping models, and the calculation results show that the intrinsic electron mobility inAis much higher than the corresponding intrinsic hole mobility. These theoretical investigations provide guidance for the efficient and targeted control of the molecular packing and charge-transport properties of organic small-molecule semiconductors and conjugated polymeric materials.
