Poly[methyl(phenyl)silylene], PMPSi, was doped with compounds of the electron acceptor type. The charge carrier mobility increases with increasing electron affinity of the acceptors having zero dipole moments. At the same time the energy distribution of hopping states narrows. On the other hand, the hole drift mobility is influenced by the dipole moment of the dopand. The electrostatic charge carrier‐dipole interaction causes a broadening of the energy distribution of transport states which results in a decrease in the charge carrier mobility. The charge carrier transport can be explained by the disordered polaronic theory, according to which the activation energy of charge carrier mobility has contributions based on the dynamic disorder, i.e. the polaronic barrier, and on the static disorder, i.e. the variation of the energy of transport states as a result of the environment.
