Organic semiconducting materials play an important role in the fabrication of high performance organic electronic devices. In the present work, we theoretically designed a series of organic semiconductors based on nickel complexes. Their characteristics of charge transport were investigated using DFT computational approaches. Based on the computed results, all compounds designed are found to be excellent candidates for ambipolar organic semiconductors with low reorganization energies for both holes and electrons. The (I–V) characteristics and transmission spectra of materials show that the replacement of benzene rings by thiophene rings results in an increase of their HOMO and LUMO energy levels. HOMOs of compounds containing thiophene end-groups are likely dominant for their conductance, while LUMOs of compounds containing benzene end-groups mainly affect their conductance. The electron distribution in these frontier MOs is identified as the main reason which makes the conductance of the compounds in the first series higher than those in the later series.

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.
