To obtain anthracene-based derivatives with electron transport behavior, two series of anthracene-based derivatives modified by trifluoromethyl groups (-CF) and cyano groups (-CN) at the 9,10-positions of the anthracene core were studied. Their electronic structures and crystal packings were also analyzed and compared. The charge-carrier mobilities were evaluated by quantum nuclear tunneling theory based on the incoherent charge-hopping model.
