Abstrakt: Dynamic disorder manifested in fluctuations of charge transfer integrals considerably hinders charge transport in high-mobility organic semiconductors. Accordingly, strategies for suppression of the dynamic disorder are highly desirable. In this study, we suggest a novel promising strategy for suppression of dynamic disorder-tuning the molecular electrostatic potential. Specifically, we show that the intensities of the low-frequency (LF) Raman spectra for crystalline organic semiconductors consisting of π-isoelectronic small molecules (i.e. bearing the same number of π electrons)-benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT), chrysene, tetrathienoacene (TTA) and naphtho[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene (NDT)-differ significantly, indicating significant differences in the dynamic disorder. This difference is explained by suppression of the dynamic disorder in chrysene and NDT because of stronger intermolecular electrostatic interactions. As a result, guidelines for the increase of the crystal rigidity for the rational design of high-mobility organic semiconductors are suggested.
