The absorption spectra of oriented and amorphous naphthacene and pentacene film have been measured at high pressure. The Davydov splitting of 0–0 band in oriented films increase with increasing pressure at the rate of 37 cm−1/kbar for naphthacene and 70 cm−1/kbar for pentacene. The 0–2 vibronic bands of both oriented films show the large red shifts compared with the 0–1 vibronic band. For amorphous films the Davydov splitting is not observed at atmospheric pressure. The pressure induced spectral red shifts in the amorphous state are slightly larger than those in the crystalline-state.
