The excitonic singlet-triplet dynamics of organic semiconductors play a crucial role for their efficient implementation in opto-electronic devices. We present a compact setup to probe the relevant time-dependent processes like inter-system crossing, singlet fission (SF) or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Unlike single molecule spectroscopy or pump-probe techniques, we utilize step-function photoexcitation at high excitation intensities in combination with time correlated single photon counting. Applying this technique to neat single crystals of tetracene (Tc) and its 2,2'-ditetracene dimer (DTc) we observed a sub-ns SF in Tc while this process is efficiently suppressed in DTc. X-ray diffraction analysis in combination with theoretical coupled-cluster calculations attribute this striking difference to the respective crystal structure being slightly modified by the covalent linking at the DTc 2,2'-position. On the molecular level, represented by doped anthracene single crystals, the fluorescent properties of Tc and DTc are almost identical and the absence of SF in both host-guest-systems emphasizes the role of inter- rather than intramolecular interactions for this non-radiative decay process.
