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.

Several quantum chemical methods including CASSCF/CASPT2, CCSD(T)-F12, and DFT were used to study electronic structures and excited states of germanium trimers singly doped with titanium. All necessary parameters and calculations process are reported in the text. The conclusion on electronic transitions causing anion photoelectron bands was made by analysis of electronic structures and comparison with experimental data (reported by an experimental group).
