The influence of oxygen in electrolytic contacts on extrinsic photocurrents in tetracene and anthracene crystals is investigated. By adding Na 2 SO 3 to the electrolytic electrode it is possible to vary the O 2 partial pressure by orders of magnitude. It is found that triplet induced hole currents are controlled by a reaction of triplet excitons with oxygen, while singlet exciton induced hole currents must be produced by a specific exciton‐water reaction. On the other hand it is found that Na 2 SO 3 stimulates an electron injection i.e. sulfit ions can act as electron donor upon interaction with triplet excitons. A kinetic analysis of the results is presented.
