Singlet fission is slowed down on diffusional timescales in highly concentrated solutions compared to thin films for a tetracene-like molecule. The underlying mechanism suggests competing intersystem crossing and singlet fission, where in the latter singlets are converted directly to triplets without an intermediate excimer state.
