Abstract

The hole transport properties of ester substituted hexaalkyloxytriphenylenes are investigated and compared with the materials without ester substituents. The high hole mobilities of the recently investigated discotic liquid crystals of the hexaalkyloxytriphenylene-type are restricted to the very small temperature range of their mesophase. It is extended substantially by substitution of one ester group, as this hinders crystallization and results in glass formation. It is found that the substitution of an ester group alters the temperature and field dependence of the mobility completely. In the ester substituted compounds the mobility µ is not independent of temperature but follows a ln µ∝1/T2 law. We attribute this to the dipole moment of the ester group which causes random fluctuations in the local electric field and leads to disorder dominated charge carrier hopping as the prevailing transport mechanism.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
