Singlet fission (SF), the photophysical process converting an singlet state into two triplets, is a promising approach to boost solar cell efficiencies [1], and is, due to a triplet-pair state intermediate, also interesting from the viewpoint of fundamental research. SF rates are controlled by the interplay of intermolecular interactions, energetics and electron-phonon coupling and a controlled modification of these parameters is key to a fundamental understanding of this complex process. Blends of organic semiconductors present an interesting alternative to established methods of chemical functionalization [2,3] and their potential for the study and control of SF pathways will be discussed using two examples of acene blends [3,4].
