• The structure–property relations for indigoids have been theoretically investigated.
• A promising strategy for designing ambipolar organic semiconductors based on indigo fragments has been proposed.
• The influence of various substituents in indigoids has been detailedly studied.
• The crystal structures for designed materials have been predicted by evolutionary algorithm combined with DFT-D method.
• Remarkable ambipolar charge transport behavior has been predicted with μh/μe = 7.71/5.42 cm2 V−1 s−1.
Indigoids have received much attention as the candidates of sustainable ambipolar organic semiconductor. However, the low charge carrier mobilities extremely limit their practical applications. Therefore, in-depth understanding of their electronic-structure properties and rational molecular modifications are urgently required. Here, we propose a promising strategy to design ambipolar organic semiconductors based on indigo fragments. Moreover, we predicted the organic crystal structures by evolutionary algorithm combined with DFT-D method. Charge transport properties have been significantly improved for the designed molecules, such as narrower energy gaps, higher electron affinity, larger transfer integrals as well as much smaller reorganization energies for hole and electron. Thusly, remarkable ambipolar charge transport behavior has been predicted, for example, the charge carrier mobilities are up to μh/μe = 7.71/5.42 cm2 V−1 s−1 for NN-indigo-6,6′-2CN and μh/μe = 5.15/2.13 cm2 V−1 s−1 for C9-NN-indigo-6,6′-2CN respectively.
