92. The formation of photoluminescent charge transfer excitons has been reported by Forrest and co-workers for perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) crystals. These crystals contain ID stacks of tightly packed (π-π distance of 3.2 A) chromophores that facilitate a high degree of π-orbital overlap between adjacent molecules along the stack, see: a) F. F.

114. -1 aggregate solution in n-hexane and 16% for thin films. Both values are in good agreement with the results shown in Figure 10 and substantiate our conclusion that a significant photoluminescence is observed from these H-type dye aggregates. We are thankful to Dr. Tanja Schüttrigkeit and Mr. Hiroyuki Shirai of Hamamatsu Photonics for the opportunity to conduct these measurements with their help in Würzburg.
