The singlet fission (SF) is expected to be powerful tool for exceeding the theoretical limit of the power conversion efficiency on the organic solar cells. However, little is known on the intermolecular SF mechanism in the solid state. In the present study, we have investigated intermolecular SF in 2-phenyl-6,11-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)tetracene (TIPS-Ph-Tc) in frozen solutions using a time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance measurement at a low temperature. SF-born quintet states (Q) and subsequent dissociations into two triplet states (T + T) were detected for a diluted solute concentration of 10-4 M in dichloromethane. The microsecond triplet dissociation was found to occur due to the amorphous morphology in the frozen aggregate, suggesting that Q is generated as a trapped state. Furthermore, it was also suggested that the T + T dissociation follows the Q generation due to a T-T repulsion, whose energy were determined by the negative exchange couplings in the triplet pairs, (TT).

The mechanism of the Cope rearrangement of 1,5-hexadienes remains controversial. Two pathways for the rearrangement of 2,5-diphenyl-1,5-hexadiene have been debated over the past several decades. The first is a concerted route that takes place via a pericyclic transition state and the other is a stepwise process via a biradical intermediate or biradicaloid transition structure. In this study, we explored a new intramolecular trapping approach to examine the possible existence of the putative biradical that might intervene in the stepwise Cope rearrangement. For this purpose, a study was carried out in which a 1,5-hexadiene, bearing two lophyl radicals at C2 and C5 positions, moieties capable of trapping a putative biradical intermediate intramolecularly, was designed, generated, and characterized both experimentally and with density functional theory.
