Molecular doping is a charge-transfer process intended to improve the electrical properties of organic semiconductors and the efficiency of organic electronic devices, by incorporation of a complex-forming, strong molecular electron acceptor or donor. Using density functional theory methods with dispersion corrections, we seek to monitor charge transfer and estimate its amount via calculations of experimental observables. With 2,3,S,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F-4-TCNQ) as a p-dopant (electron acceptor) and an array of pi-conjugated molecules as hole-transport materials (donors), the amount of charge transfer is seen to be a non-monotonic function of the offset defined by the donor ionization potential (IP) and the acceptor electron affinity (EA), IP - lEAl. Interestingly, a well-defined, linear relationship between the amount of charge transfer and IP - lEAl is obtained when the IP and EA values are adjusted to reflect intramolecular geometric changes in the final form of the complex. This study offers a straightforward way to match donor-acceptor pairs with desired doping effects and to estimate the resulting charge density in organic semiconductors.
