Table 1. Triplet pair yield in amorphous pentacene derivative nanoparticles via a simple kinetic analysis a , b , c .

Compound τ TPF (ps) Φ TT (%)
TES-Pn 0.42 ± 0.03 99.97
TIPS-Pn 1.23 ± 0.06 99.90
TSBS-Pn 2.8 ± 0.5 99.77

aThe triplet pair formation (TPF) time constant was obtained by averaging over at least three independent measurements (and sample preparations). See e.g. Section S9. The limits represent an analysis of a single standard deviation of the time constants obtained from the fits.

bThis estimate takes into account all unimolecular decay processes via the isolated chromophore fluorescence lifetime measured in toluene. All compounds exhibit an isolated chromophore fluorescence lifetime of ca. 12 ns (Section S8).

cMore significant digits than an error analysis would allow are provided for the estimated triplet pair quantum yields to better facilitate comparison of results between samples.
