Chiral molecular selfassemblies that absorb light boost singlet fission process, research demonstrates

Nov 01, 2024

In organic molecules, an exciton is a particle bound pair of an electron (negative charge) and its hole (positive charge). They are held together by Coulombic attraction and can move within molecular assemblies. Singlet fission (SF) is a process where an exciton is amplified, and two triplet excitons are generated from a singlet exciton.
