<p>The properties of an organic semiconductor are dependent on both the chemical structure of the molecule involved, and how it is arranged in the solid-state. It is challenging to extract the influence of each individual factor, as small changes in the molecular structure often dramatically change the crystal packing and hence solid-state structure. Here, we use calculations to explore the influence of the nitrogen position on the charge mobility of a chiral organic molecule when the crystal packing is kept constant. The transfer integrals for a series of enantiopure aza[6]helicene crystals sharing the same packing were analysed in order to identify the best supramolecular motifs to promote charge carrier mobility. The regioisomers considered differ only in the positioning of the nitrogen atom in the aromatic scaffold. The simulations showed that even this small change in the chemical structure has a strong effect on the charge transport in the crystal, leading to differences in charge mobility of up to one order of magnitude. Some aza[6]helicene isomers that were packed interlocked with each other showed high HOMO-HOMO integrals (up to 70 meV), whilst molecules arranged with translational symmetry generally afforded the highest LUMO-LUMO integrals (40 - 70 meV). As many of the results are not intuitively obvious, a computational approach provides additional insight into the design of new semiconducting organic materials.</p>

ABSTRACTThe thermosetting mechanism of an organosilicon polymer containing carborane has been studied utilizing the 13and 29Si solid-state NMR method. The polymer having C≡C bonds in the main chain and CH═CH2, Si-H bonds, and carborane in the bulky side chain, shows a very highly thermal stability in air by curing. From 13C and 29Si NMR spectra of the polymer, it was found that the intermolecular cross-linking reactions of the polymer was due to (1) the diene reaction between Ph-C≡C and C≡C and (2) the addition reaction between side chain terminal and Ph-C≡C and between CH═CH2 and Si–H, and a very highly thermal stable structure is formed.
