Abstract: As a well-known hole-transporting material, pentacene has been widely and intensively investigated. Here, the influence of introduction of gold atom on the hole transport property of pentacene was investigated by combining DFT with Marcus theory, focusing on intramolecular reorganization energy, intermolecular transfer integral and hole hopping rate. The results show that the main contributions to λ transits from the stretching of C-C bonds to the stretching of Au-Pentacene with Au introduced, and that this transition becomes increasingly intense when the Au atom is near the edge of pentacene. As for transfer integral, the introduction of Au atom results in the decrease of its value arising from the effect of both the geometries and character of frontier orbitals.
