Singlet fission proceeds rapidly and with high quantum efficiency in both crystalline tetracene and pentacene, which poses a conundrum given that the process in tetracene is disfavored by the electronic energetics. Here, we use an ab initio exciton model to compute nonadiabatic couplings in the unit cell of tetracene in order to identify the modes that promote this process. Four intramolecular modes in the range of 1400-1600 cm(-1), which are nearly resonant with the single-exciton/multiexciton energy gap, appear to play a key role. Ab initio calculations of the electron/phonon coupling constants for these modes reveal that they are almost entirely of Holstein type, modulating the site energies rather than the intersite couplings. The constants are used to parametrize a vibronic Hamiltonian, simulations with which suggest a vibronically coherent singlet fission mechanism that proceeds spontaneously despite unfavorable electronic energetics. In the absence of vibronic coupling, there is no significant fission according to our model.
