Understanding the transport mechanisms of electronic excitations in coupled molecular systems is the basis for their application in light harvesting and opto-electronic devices. The exciton transfer properties depend pivotal on the supramolecular structure. Herbst et. al. reported recently a series of perylene bisimides dyes self-assembling into multi-stranded (two to four) J-type aggregates [1]. These aggregates are an ideal model system to study the impact of structural modifications onto the exciton transfer distances. We determine the exciton mobility for these aggregates by analyzing the dynamics associated with exciton-exciton annihilation [2]. Therefore energy dependent pump-probe spectroscopy is applied and a one-dimensional diffusion model is fitted to the obtained data. We compare the exciton mobilities of the different samples with respect to their supramolecular structure. Our results imply that such PBI-aggregates and their molecular engineering are promising for further applications in photonics.
