14 Locating the optimal value of E F The optimal value of E F was chosen by minimising the quantity Y 2 (E F ) = 5 i = (Log(G theo ) Log(G exp i i )) 2 (S2) G theo Where i is the theoretical conductance for a given E F and i is the experimental conductance reported in ref [2], where i labels the PBIs. This mean-square deviation between theory and experiment is plotted in figure S8 and shows a minimum at E F = 0.08eV, which is the values chosen throughout this paper. G exp 0 Y E F (ev) Figure S. The mean square deviation of theory from the experiment as a function of Fermi energy.

15 Evaluating of error in the currents for a distribution of geometries The error value of the 24 current curves is given by σ m = σ/ 24 (S3) σ = (I i I ) 2 i = (S4) where σ m is standard deviation in the mean of current I.

16 Classification of the amount of charge-transfer complex In particular we used the customised basis set definitions to investigate the effects on the Mulliken population count in SIESTA when using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBE) for the exchange and correlation (GGA) [], but we also made these calculations with the local density approximation (LDA-CA) [2] and van der waals interactions. The Hamiltonian and overlap matrices are calculated on a real-space grid defined by a plane-wave cutoff of 50 Ry. Each PBI molecule with three analytes which are (TCNE, BEDT-TTF, and TNT) are relaxed into the optimum geometry until the forces on the atoms are smaller than 0.02 ev/å. Tolerance of Density Matrix is 0-4, and in case of the isolated molecules a sufficiently-large unit cell was used. For steric and electrostatic reasons.

DFT calculations using LDA approximation of the transmission coefficients as a function of energy at T=0K for optimum configuration of apy-pbi with (a) TCNE, (b) TNT, and (c) BEDT-TTF. The fourth figure (d) shows the current as a function of voltage at T=300K for the apy-pbi and in the presence of the three analyte molecules (TCNE, TNT, and BEDT-TTF). It is interesting to note that the behaviour of the ensemble average is qualitatively differenet from the ensemble average. Figure S9 shows the transmission coefficient for the molecule apy-pbi, in the absence and presence of the analytes. It is clear that the conductance in the presence of the analytes in their optimal binding configurations is lower than in the case of molecule. In contrast, figure S7 shows that the ensemble-averaged conductance, is higher in the presence of the analytes.

26 Quantifying the sensitivity of the PBIs for discriminating sensing. To quantify the potential of the five PBI derivatives (labeled j=,, 5) for the discriminating sensing of the three analytes TCNE, TNT and BEDT-TTF, (labeled n=,2,3) we calculated the ensemble-averaged, room-temperature currents I jn as a function of voltage V and computed the following correlators of the currents A nm j = V/2 dv(i jn (V) I jm (V)) 2 V/2 (S5) These were then normalized by the squared currents of the backbones to yield the quantities: X nm j = A nm j V/2 dv(i j (V )) 2 V/2 (S6) For n m, table shows the values of X nm j obtained for V=volt. Clearly, as defined, X nm j = 0 when n = m. In practice, a sensing event would involve measurement of a new set of curves (I jm (V) in equation 2) and combining these with a calibration set of curves (I jn (V) in equation 2), in which case X nm j would be small but not zero when n = m. Table. The values of Xnm j J PBIs X 2 j X 3 j X 23 j apy-pbi Cl-PBI P-PBI Py-PBI S-PBI SUM

27 Table and figure 4 shows the value of X nm j when n m. Ideally, to avoid false positives, these numbers should be as large as possible and since they are largest for Py-PBI, we conclude that Py-PBI is the best individual sensor. Nevertheless, for the most accurate discriminating sensing, the fingerprint of an analyte across all five backbones should be used. X TNT 2 TCNE 3 BEDT-TTF Figure 4.
