87. 1) = 1.27 eV, ref 45) quenches the triplet exciton of PF10TBT. We expect the energy of the PF10TBT triplet to change minimally upon going from solution to the solid state as the energetic position of the singlet exciton also hardly shifts (both in absorption and in emission).

89. At 80 K a decay time of τ = 10-15 μs was determined for a thin film of PF10TBT over the full spectrum (see Supporting Information, Figure S5). At 290 K the decay time of the triplet exciton is within the time response of our setup; however, the 10-fold reduction in intensity infers a decay time of about 1 μs.
90. There are two strong indications that the PF10TBT radical cation is the only significant contributor to the photoinduced absorption spectrum of the PF10TBT:PCBM 1:4 blend at 290 K: (1) an identical spectrum is found for a blend of PF10TBT with TCAQ (a stronger electron acceptor) at 290 K (Supporting Information, Figure S4), and (2) fits of the frequency dependence resulted in exactly the same lifetime (υ = 25-30 μs) at 0.48, 1.30, and 1.70 eV. If the triplet absorption would substantially (> 10%) contribute to the spectrum, the decay time at the high energy band would be shorter.
