The problem is that n-type dopants are deep in energy, far away from the conduction band. So the electron from the donor stays with the dopant atom rather than activating and putting its electron in the conduction band.

[Typo: Dopants are atoms not molecules.]
Many Group V atoms have been tried. See eg http://phycomp.technion.ac.il/~david/thesis/node17.html http://phycomp.technion.ac.il/~david/thesis/node17.html
