Transfer Integrals

Transfer integrals for oligos with different bases have been calculated using INDO/Koopman's approximation to unveil the charge transport mechanism in DNA. The sequences, G(A) n G , n = 1, 2, …, 10; G(A) x G(A) y G , x + y = 9; and G(A) x G(A) y G(A) z G , x + y + z = 8, were employed to interpret the Guanine (G) and Adenine(A) hopping. Adenine hopping is found to be faster in G(A) n G sequences with longer Adenine bridges (n ≥ 3). Inserting G-bases in between G(A) 10 G led to a decrease in the value of transfer integrals. Close analysis has revealed that bridge closer to 3′-end forms a hopping bottleneck; however, the presence of bridge at 5′-end enhances the charge transfer through A-hopping. Further insertion of single G sites in G(A) x G(A) y G (where x + y = 9) reduces the transfer integrals, thus explaining the hampering of A-hopping. Hence, sequences of the type G(A) n G , n > 3, are better suited for their application as molecular wire. Finally, studies on the effect of flipping of bases, i.e. flipping G:C to C:G on transfer integrals, have revealed that helical distortions and conformational changes due to sequence variations lead to changes in coupling, which is highly unpredictable.

<div> <div> <div><p>Motivated by the potential for application of organic semiconductors in exible electronics, we present a theoretical study aiming at elucidating the interplay between mechanical strain and electronic, vibrational and charge transport properties of the prototypical high-mobility molecular semiconductor rubrene. Our study considers several factors that can play a role in the electro-mechanical response of a soft, van-der-Waals bonded, molecular crystal, such as intermolecular charge transfer integrals, lattice dynamics and electron phonon coupling. We find that compressive strain leads to an increase in magnitude of charge transfer integrals but also of the energetic disorder hampering the mobility. Charge transport simulations, based on the transient localization framework and fed with first-principles inputs, reveal a remarkably different response to strain applied along different crystal axes, in line with most recent experiments. The critical interplay between energetic disorder of intrinsic and extrinsic nature on the mobility-strain relationship is also discussed. The theoretical approach proposed in this work paves the way for the systematic study of the electro-mechanical response of different classes of high-mobility molecular semiconductors.</p></div> </div> </div>

Three State Model

Superior organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) materials require two conventionally exclusive properties: strong luminescence and high charge mobilities. We propose a three-state model through localized diabatization to quantitative analyze excited state structures for various herringbone (HB) H-aggregates and demonstrate that for some investigated systems, the low-lying intermolecular charge-transfer (CT) state couples with the bright Frenkel exciton (FE) and forms a dipole-allowed S<sub>1</sub> that lies below the dark state, proceeding strong luminescence. Specifically, such conversion in luminescence properties occurs when the electron- and hole-transfer integrals ( and ) are of the same sign and is notably larger than the excitonic coupling (<i>J</i>), i.e., . This theoretical finding can not only explain and rationalize recent experimental results on DPA and dNaAnt, both with OLET property, but also unravel an exciting scenario where strong luminescence and high charge mobilities are compatible, which will considerably broaden the aperture of novel OLET design.
