Charge-transfer excitons (CTX) occurring at molecular donor/acceptor interfaces are considered important intermediates for charge separation in photovoltaic devices. Co-crystalline pentacene:perfluoro-pentacene (PEN:PFP) films can be prepared with different molecular orientation on SiO2 and graphene substrates [1] and thus are well-suited model systems for detailed structure-property investigations of such CTX states. In this study, such crystalline PEN:PFP films with different molecular orientations are used to perform polarization and angular resolved UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, in order to determine the direction of the transition dipole moment (TDM) of the CTX state, which is found to be perpendicular to the aromatic ring planes i.e. along the stacking direction. Interestingly, this orientation is different than for the singlet excitons of unitary acene films, which can be well-described by the Kasha-model using the TDMs of the single molecule HOMO-LUMO excitations that are oriented along the M-axis and thus constitutes an important benchmark system for a refined theoretical analysis of such molecular donor/acceptor systems.
