In this study, the impact of fluoroalkyl side chain substitution on the air-stability, π-stacking ability, and charge transport properties of the versatile acceptor moiety naphthalene tetracarboxylic diimide (NDI) has been explored. A density functional theory (DFT) study has been carried out for a...
