Significance In the present work, we show compelling evidence for the unprecedented intramolecular singlet fission at room temperature and in dilute solutions within a set of three different regioisomeric pentacene dimers. Pump–probe experiments, which were complemented by theoretical calculations using high-level ab initio multireference perturbation theory methods, corroborate triplet quantum yields as high as 156 ± 5%. To this end, electronic couplings between the two pentacenes in the dimers, by virtue of through-bond or through-space interactions, are decisive in tuning the rates of singlet fission. Singlet fission (SF) has the potential to supersede the traditional solar energy conversion scheme by means of boosting the photon-to-current conversion efficiencies beyond the 30% Shockley–Queisser limit. Here, we show unambiguous and compelling evidence for unprecedented intramolecular SF within regioisomeric pentacene dimers in room-temperature solutions, with observed triplet quantum yields reaching as high as 156 ± 5%. Whereas previous studies have shown that the collision of a photoexcited chromophore with a ground-state chromophore can give rise to SF, here we demonstrate that the proximity and sufficient coupling through bond or space in pentacene dimers is enough to induce intramolecular SF where two triplets are generated on one molecule.
