Popis: Charge mobility is an essential factor of organic crystalline materials. Although many investigators have made important progress, the exact relationship between the crystal structure and carrier mobility remains to be clarified. Fortunately, a series of bis-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives have been successfully prepared and reported. They have similar main molecular fragments but different crystal packing modes, which provide an ideal research objective for studying the effect of molecular packing on charge mobility in organic photoelectric conversion systems. In this work, the charge mobilities of these molecules are systematically evaluated from the perspective of first-principles calculation, and the effect of a molecular overlap on orbital overlap integral and final charge carrier mobility is fully discussed. It can be seen that the small intermolecular distance (less than 6 Å) is the decisive factor to achieve high electron mobility in π stacking, and better mobility can be obtained by increasing the hole migration distance appropriately. A larger dihedral angle of anisotropy is an important point limiting the charge mobility in the herringbone arrangement. It is hoped that the correlation results between the crystal structure and mobility can assist the experimental study and provide an effective way to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the organic semiconductor devices and multiple basis for multiscale material system characterization and material information.
