Singlet Fission of Non-polycyclic Aromatic Molecules in Organic Photovoltaics
Singlet fission of thienoquinoid compounds in organic photovoltaics is demonstrated. The escalation of the thienoquinoid length of the compounds realizes a suitable packing structure and energy levels for singlet fission. The magnetic-field dependence of the photo-current and the external quantum efficiency of the devices reveal singlet fission of the compounds and dissociation of triplet excitons into charges.
