The performance of organic semiconductor devices is linked to highly ordered nanostructures of self-assembled molecules and polymers. Many-body perturbation theory is employed to study the excited states in bulk copolymers. The results show that acceptors in the polymer scaffold introduce a, hitherto unrecognized, conduction impurity band that leads to electron localization. The donor states are responsible for the formation of conjugated bands, which are only mildly perturbed by the presence of the acceptors. Along the polymer axis, the nonlocal electronic correlations among copolymer strands hinder efficient band transport, which is, however, strongly enhanced across individual chains. Holes are most effectively transported along the π–π stacking, while electrons in the impurity band follow the edge-to-edge directions. The copolymers exhibit regions with inverted transport polarity, in which electrons and holes are efficiently transported in mutually orthogonal directions.
