Abstract

We developed a method to predict the charge transport (CT) type (hole or electron) in molecular materials that uses molecular orbital calculations. The hole-and-electron-mobility ratios of molecular materials were calculated based on molecular structural reorganization energies in a charge hopping process. The CT types predicted from the calculated mobility ratios agreed with those experimentally obtained in seven of the eight model molecules.
