Hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out for neutral and radical cation species of a fused selenophene oligomer, denoted by Se(), where represents the number of selenophene rings in the oligomer, to elucidate the electronic structures at ground and low-lying excited states. A polymer of fused selenophene was also investigated using one-dimensional periodic boundary conditions (PBC) for comparison. It was found that the reorganization energy of a radical cation of Se() from a vertical hole trapping point to its relaxed structure is significantly small. Also, the reorganization energy decreased gradually with increasing , indicating that Se() has an effective intramolecular hole transport property. It was found that the radical cation species of Se() has a low-energy band in the near-IR region, which is strongly correlated to hole conductivity. The relationship between the electronic states and intramolecular hole conductivity was discussed on the basis of theoretical calculations.
已对一种稠合硒吩低聚物的中性和自由基阳离子物种进行了杂化密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,该低聚物用Se( )表示,其中 代表低聚物中硒吩环的数量,以阐明基态和低激发态的电子结构。还使用一维周期性边界条件(PBC)对稠合硒吩聚合物进行了研究以作比较。结果发现,Se( )的自由基阳离子从垂直空穴俘获点到其弛豫结构的重组能非常小。此外,重组能随着 的增加而逐渐降低,这表明Se( )具有有效的分子内空穴传输特性。结果发现,Se( )的自由基阳离子物种在近红外区域有一个低能带,这与空穴电导率密切相关。基于理论计算讨论了电子态与分子内空穴电导率之间的关系。
