Coupling phenomena in metal organic hybrid structures enable unique possibilities to tune the properties of opto-electronic devices. Furthermore, the strong coupling between surface plasmons and excitons in organic semiconductors leads to novel hybrid states, which are termed plexcitons. By means of surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy we investigate these plexcitonic states in liquid-crystalline perylene bisimide (PBI) thin films exhibiting J-type coupling deposited on gold surfaces processed via doctor blading from solution. These new states show a characteristic coupling strength of ≈110 meV. Alignment of hydrogen-bonded PBI molecules and, thus, their transition dipoles results in long-range ordered films with a pronounced spatially anisotropy of structural and optical characteristics. A ratio of 2.78 can be evaluated between strongest and weakest coupling strength of the anisotropic system. Understanding the correlation between molecular order and optical properties will enable new device concepts utilizing the presented opto-electronic directionality in future applications.
