Abstract

Molecular and interfacial electronic structure at organic semiconductor interfaces shows a rich and subtle dependence on short- and long-range electrostatic interactions. Interface dipoles can be controlled making use of the anisotropic charge distribution at the interface, often with direct consequences also for the molecular electronic structure. In this Perspective, we will discuss the emerging understanding of how local and collective electrostatic effects control energy level alignment and molecular electronic structure at organic semiconductor interfaces and highlight some of the ramifications for interfacial charge-transfer dynamics. Attention is paid to the validity of the underlying assumptions inherent to the classical electrostatic approach.

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.
