One of the intriguing issues in oPV materials is the role of triplet excitons on photogeneration of charge carriers. Evaporated oligothiophene films and solution-processed polythiophenes have been used in high-efficiency organic solar cells. Thus the electronic properties of both material classes are of great interest. Utilizing angle resolved optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), we investigated the triplet excitons of thin films of the quinquethiophene DCV5T (evaporated), the polythiophene P3HT and the block copolymer PCPDTBT (both spin-cast). We found a strong dependence of the triplet signatures on the crystalline ordering, especially for oligothiophenes, and attempt to connect this dependence to the intrinsic ordering of the corresponding molecular system. In combination with structural analysis, angle resolved ODMR allows to gain new insights into the physics of triplet excited states.
