Abstract
The elucidation of physical properties of organic materials is important for further optimization of related electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here we review briefly various first-principles computational tools for the modeling of these materials by investigating key structural, electronic, and chemical properties of prototype organic semiconductors. In particular, we discuss the site-selectivity for band formation in pentacene and rubrene, hydrogenation and transformations of metal-free phthalocyanines, and the bonding topology in a hybrid organic-inorganic system.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
