Null Exciton Splitting in Chromophoric Greek Cross (+) Aggregate
Abstract
Exciton interactions in molecular aggregates play a crucial role in tailoring the optical behaviour of π‐conjugated materials. Though vital for optoelectronic applications, ideal Greek cross‐dipole ( α =90°) stacking of chromophores remains elusive. We report a novel Greek cross (+) assembly of 1,7‐dibromoperylene‐3,4,9,10‐tetracarboxylic tetrabutylester (PTE‐Br 2 ) which exhibits null exciton coupling mediated monomer‐like optical characteristics in the crystalline state. In contrast, nonzero exciton coupling in X‐type ( α =70.2°, PTE‐Br 0 ) and J‐type ( α =0°, θ =48.4°, PTE‐Br 4 ) assemblies have perturbed optical properties. Additionally, the semi‐classical Marcus theory of charge‐transfer rates predicts a selective hole transport phenomenon in the orthogonally stacked PTE‐Br 2 . Precise rotation angle dependent optoelectronic properties in crystalline PTE‐Br 2 can have consequences in the rational design of novel π‐conjugated materials for photonic and molecular electronic applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
