The hole mobility, μ+, calculated at 300 K based on the B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p) reorganization energies (Table 1) and B3LYP/6–31G(d,p) transfer integrals, V. The distances, d, are the monomer centre-of-mass distances for each dimer. Results for 1 include the experimental crystal structure from Yamamoto and Takimiya ('xtal'), and the calculated results using PBE/DNP charges ('DNP') and B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p) charges ('G'). Results for 2 include the powder X-ray diffraction-calculated structure (xtal) (this work) and B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p) charges ('G'). Results for 7 are calculated using B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p) charges.
