We present a fragment-based decomposition analysis tool (FB-ECDA) for the electronic coupling of charge transfer processes. This tool provides insight on the sophisticated relationship between molecular packing, electronic coupling, and the molecular transport network present in organic amorphous semiconductors. On the basis of atomic orbitals, FB-ECDA decomposes the total electronic coupling into individual electronic coupling terms arising from each molecular building blocks in a straightforward manner. The usefulness of this approach is demonstrated by revealing the structure-packing-property relationships for two series of molecules differing by the number of arm substituents and acene core length. Overall, we provide insight on the design of organic semiconductors exhibiting efficient charge transport network through achieving a subtle balance between molecular packing and electronic structure. We expect FB-ECDA to be a valuable tool for understanding sophisticated charge transfer processes in amorphous systems and guiding the rational design of organic semiconductors.
