The length and substituent effects on the frontier orbitals energy levels’ are shown to translate to the computed transmission spectra – with a caveat of the role of the linker group. The resulting transport (charge carrier) type – n- (electrons) or p- (holes) – is easily identifiable from the in silico charge transfer trends.OiligothiopheneMolecular electronicsComputational chemistrytext::journal::journal article::research article
