Tuning the role of charge-transfer states in intramolecular singlet exciton fission through side-group engineering

The understanding of how a singlet exciton separates into triplet states in organic semiconductors is crucial to the design of efficient organic solar cells. Here, Lukmanet al. identify the role played by charge-transfer states during triplet formation through side-group engineering of pentacenes.
