Influence of the heavy-atom effect on singlet fission: a study of platinum-bridged pentacene dimers

Journal Article Basel, Bettina S. ; Young, Ryan M. ; Krzyaniak, Matthew D. ; ... - Chemical Science

The process of singlet fission (SF) produces two triplet excited states (T₁ + T₁) from one singlet excited exciton (S₁) and a molecule in its ground state (S₀). It, thus, possesses the potential to boost the solar cell efficiency above the thermodynamic Shockley–Queisser limit of 33%. A key intermediate in the SF mechanism is the singlet correlated triplet pair state ¹(T₁T₁). This state is of great relevance, as its formation is spin-allowed and, therefore, very fast and efficient. Three fundamentally different pathways to formation of ¹(T₁T₁) have been documented so far. The factors that influence which mechanism is associated withmore »« less

Unified model for singlet fission within a non-conjugated covalent pentacene dimer

Journal Article Basel, Bettina S. ; Zirzlmeier, Johannes ; Hetzer, Constantin ; ... - Nature Communications

When molecular dimers, crystalline films or molecular aggregates absorb a photon to produce a singlet exciton, spin-allowed singlet fission may produce two triplet excitons that can be used to generate two electron–hole pairs, leading to a predicted B50% enhancement in maximum solar cell performance. The singlet fission mechanism is still not well understood. Here we report on the use of time-resolved optical and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to probe singlet fission in a pentacene dimer linked by a non-conjugated spacer. We observe the key intermediates in the singlet fission process, including the formation and decay of a quintet state thatmore »« less

Femtosecond stimulated Raman evidence for charge-transfer character in pentacene singlet fission

Journal Article Hart, Stephanie M. ; Silva, W. Ruchira ; Frontiera, Renee R. - Chemical Science

Singlet fission is a spin-allowed process in which an excited singlet state evolves into two triplet states. We use femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy, an ultrafast vibrational technique, to follow the molecular structural evolution during singlet fission in order to determine the mechanism of this process. In crystalline pentacene, we observe the formation of an intermediate characterized by pairs of excited state peaks that are red- and blue-shifted relative to the ground state features. We hypothesize that these features arise from the formation of cationic and anionic species due to partial transfer of electron density from one pentacene molecule to amore »« less
