Supermolecular structure and charge carriers mobilities of perylene diimides — •Valentina Marcon1, James Kirkpatrick1,2, Wojtek Pisula1, and Denis Andrienko11Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung, Mainz, Germany — 2Department of Physics, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom

Perylene diimides form columnar phases, where the molecules stack on top of each other and the columns arrange in a regular lattice. The self-organization into well-ordered columns results in the one-dimensional charge transport along the stack of the aromatic cores of the molecules. Most of the discotic molecules which organize in columns are p-type semiconductors, while the class of rylene diimide molecules, to which perylene belongs, forms n-type organic semiconductors.

Using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations we study the columnar phases of perylene diimides and establish correlations between the molecular structure, packing, and dynamical properties of these materials.

By using a scheme which combines electronic structure calculations, MD and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, a correlation is then established between the molecular structure and charge mobility of perylenes columnar mesophases.
