Optoelectronic and charge-transport related properties of a series of 3,6-diphenyl-s-tetrazine derivatives, including F, Cl, Br, and CN substituents, have been analyzed. The molecular structure and electronic properties of the new fluorine-containing derivative, bis(3,6-difluorophenyl)-s-tetrazine, were explored by spectroscopic, electrochemical, and theoretical methods. The effects of the substituent on the pristine compound have been assessed from a theoretical perspective, showing that the fluorinated and brominated derivatives have the highest predicted electron mobilities, whereas the cyano derivative is foreseen to undergo the most efficient electron injection process.
