Title: Molecular Packing and Singlet Fission: The Parent and Three Fluorinated 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofurans

Abstract

Crystal structures, singlet fission (SF) rate constants, and other photophysical properties are reported for three fluorinated derivatives of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran and compared with those of the two crystal forms of the parent. The results place constraints on the notion that the effects of molecular packing on SF rates could be studied separately from effects of chromophore structural changes by examining groups of chromophores related by weakly perturbing substitution if their crystal structures are different. The results further provide experimental evidence that dimer-based models of SF are not sufficiently general and that trimer- and possibly even higher oligomer-based or many-body models need to be formulated.
