Molecular modeling shows that longitudinal displacement of the backbones by a couple of ångströms has a profound impact on the electronic coupling mediating charge transport in a conjugated copolymer. These changes can be probed by monitoring the calculated X‐ray scattering patterns and NMR chemical shifts as a function of sliding of the polymer chains and comparing them to experiment.
