Résumé

Three acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A)-type small donor molecules (M1, M2 and M3) were evaluated for optoelectronic properties through density functional theory calculations. These designed molecules consist of a dithieno [2,3-b:3,2-d] thiophene (DTT) donor group linked with 2-(3-methyl-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidine)malononitrile acceptor through three different bridge groups. The effect of the donor and three different bridge spacer groups on the designed molecules for opto-electronic properties was evaluated in comparison with the reference molecule R. The reorganization energies of the designed donor molecules suggest very good charge mobility property. The lower value of hole mobility (λ
