Abstract
The coherent nature of molecular excited dimers in their triplet states is unequivocally established by a series of low temperature optically detected magnetic resonance experiments in zero field. The results clearly establish that a minimum coherence time for the dimer ψ(+) state in 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene (≈ 1.7 K) is longer than 5 × 10^(−7) s while the exchange time in these systems is approximately 16 × 10^(−12) s. This implies that the coherence persists for a time approximately 10^5 times that associated with the stochastic limit. The coherence time could, however, be even longer. Moreover, these new results clearly demonstrate that there is a direct and quantitative relationship between coherent properties of dimers and the coherent properties of triplet Frenkel excitons.
