The properties of α‐sexithiophene (α‐T 6 ), e.g., the pronounced one‐dimensionality of the molecule (see Figure), the layered crystal packing, and the low exciton binding energy, make it a very interesting material for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Investigations into the origin of its optical gap and conclusions drawn from them are reported.
