Higher energy triplet-pair states in polyenes and their role in intramolecular singlet fission

Probing extended polyene systems with energy in excess of the bright state (1^1B+u/S2) band edge generates triplets via singlet fission. This process is not thought to involve the 2^1A−g/S1 state, suggesting that other states play a role. Using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculation...
