  abstract  = {This thesis focused on the influence of the underlying crystal structure and hence, of the mutual molecular orientation, on the excited states in ordered molecular aggregates. For this purpose, two model systems have been investigated. In the prototypical donor-acceptor complex pentacene-perfluoropentacene (PEN-PFP) the optical accessibility of the charge transfer state and the possibility to fabricate highly defined interfaces by means of single crystal templates enabled a deep understanding of the spatial anisotropy of the charge transfer state formation. Transferring the obtained insights to the design of prototypical donor-acceptor devices, the importance of interface control to minimize the occurrence of charge transfer traps and thereby, to improve the device performance, could be demonstrated. The use of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) allowed for the examination of the influence of molecular packing on the excited electronic states without a change in molecular species by virtue of its inherent polymorphism. Combining structural investigations, optical absorption and emission spectroscopy, as well as Franck-Condon modeling of emission spectra revealed the nature of the optical excited state emission in relation to the structural \(\alpha \) and \(\beta \) phase over a wide temperature range from 4 K to 300 K. As a results, the phase transition kinetics of the first order \(\alpha \rightarrow \beta\) phase transition were characterized in depth and applied to the fabrication of prototypical dual luminescent OLEDs.},
