Validating a new theoretical method for predicting the HFC of small molecular semiconductors

DOI

ALC is the best technique to characterize muoniated radicals, which are produced by muonium adduct to unsaturated bonds in the organic molecules. Good agreement between data from ALC and theory to specify muon sites can justify and quantify the materials properties extracted from previously published and as-yet unpublished data, but to date DFT calculations have proven to make somewhat unreliable predictions. For example, DFT calculations for TIPS-Pentacene resulted in a predicted hyperfine constant which was 40% higher than the experimental results. We have recently used the implicit solvent approach, calculating over 100 different possible structures, to make a prediction which was just 5 G away from an experimentally found ALC. We now wish to validate this approach against all ALCs in the molecule, to demonstrate a definitive theoretical method for calculating hyperfine constants.
