The recently synthesized Picene/F4TCNQ charge transfer salt [1] shows promising physical properties for the application in molecular electronics. Based on theoretical calculation within the density functional theory framework we predict the material to act as a molecular diode with high rectification ratio [2]. We further conclude that the hybrid states formed by the donor / acceptor system are playing the key role to determine the spectroscopic and quantum transport properties. Additionally we extend our investigation to other novel charge transfer salts like Chrysene/F4TCNQ or Tetracene/F4TCNQ. We will show that the tuning of spectroscopic and transport properties through intramolecular charge transfer is a general concept which opens a new route towards functional materials for molecular electronics.
