The film structure and electronic structure of a biradical hydrocarbon, diphenyl derivative of s-indacenodiphenalene (Ph2-IDPL) solid film has been investigated. A small energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) compared with that of typical π-conjugated small molecules was observed even for the amorphous film of Ph2-IDPL. This result indicates that the small HOMO–LUMO gap is an important characteristic of the singlet biradical electronic structure and well explains the previously reported ambipolar field effects of amorphous Ph2-IDPL film by Chikamatsu et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 2007, 91, 043506. It was found that the gas-deposition method substantially improved the crystallinity of the film where Ph2-IDPL molecules form quasi one-dimensional (1D) molecular chains normal to the substrate surface. An extremely small HOMO–LUMO gap was observed in the polycrystalline Ph2-IDPL film, which is possibly caused by strong intermolecular coupling. The photon energy dependence of ultraviolet photoemission spectra shows that the stacked Ph2-IDPL molecular chain in the polycrystalline film develops an energy band structure in the direction of the surface normal of the film. The intermolecular covalency therefore evolves into the quasi 1D energy band along the molecular stacking direction.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
