Dimeric pentacene derivatives have emerged as the system of choice toward exploring the mechanism of intramolecular singlet fission (iSF). The dimeric structure, and in particular the spacer, allows for controlling and tuning the distance, geometric relationship, and electronic coupling between the two pentacene moieties. This Minireview by R. R. Tykwinski et al. describes recent advances using pentacene dimers for the investigation of iSF, see page 8245 ff.
