Abstract
Packing energies, packing parameters, lattice vibration frequencies and thermodynamic functions are calculated for crystalline thiophene oligomers. A clear structural trend is established by which these molecules pack in a parallel fashion with angles between molecular planes of 40–60°. Minimization of the packing potential energy leads to a crystal structure prediction for α-tetrathienyl and α-hexathienyl.
