Thiadiazole derivatives, such as naphtothiadiazole (NTD) and benzobisthiadiazole (BBT) are of great interest for the use as electron acceptor in (opto)electronic applications.
In this study, vibrational and electronic high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) in combination with quantum-chemical calculations are utilized to investigate the influence of core-substitution via halogens or aromatic groups on the adsorption geometry and electronic structure of NTD and its halogenated derivatives (NTD- Cl/Br) as well as phenyl (BBT-Ph) and thiophene (BBT-Th) substituted BBT on Au(111).
Our findings indicate that core-substitution influences the electronic structure of the corresponding molecules by narrowing of the optical gap from 2.6 eV for NTD to 2.4 eV for NTD-Cl/Br, as well as a reduction from 2.2 eV for BBT-Ph to 1.8 eV for BBT-Th. Additionally, the first triplet state energies of NTD at 1.7 eV is reduced to 1.6 eV for NTD-Cl/Br and BBT-Ph at 1.2 eV to 0.7 eV for BBT-Th.
