Oliver Monti and Mary Steele (The University of Arizona, USA) discuss the emerging understanding of how local and collective electrostatic effects control energy level alignment and molecular electronic structure at organic semiconductor interfaces. They highlight some of the ramifications for interfacial charge-transfer dynamics and discuss the validity of the underlying assumptions inherent to the classical electrostatic approach.
