Two very stable organic radical adducts 1 and 2 formed by an electron donor‐acceptor system with bipolar charge transport behavior have been investigated. Both present the same electron donor moiety, 3,6‐bis( N ‐carbazolyl)carbazole, and are distinguished by the paramagnetic electron‐withdrawing moiety, tris(2,3,5,6‐tetrachlorophenyl)methyl radical (DTM) in 1 and tris(2,4,6‐trichlorophenyl)methyl radical (TTM) in 2 . They exhibit low band gaps (difference between HOMO and LUMO orbitals), 1.54 and 1.81 eV for 1 and 2 , respectively, absorbing in the visible rang of the electromagnetic spectrum. Both radical adducts present suitable charge transport results with the DTM derivative 1 showing the best performance. Thus, 1 with higher structural congestion displays a well‐balanced ambipolar behavior and the highest hole and electron mobility values.
