Exciton migration in self-assembled supramolecular ensembles of dye molecules is controlled by the elec-tronic coupling between adjacent sites, the delocalization of the excitation and thereby by the packing ar-rangement. Here, we put emphasis on the packing structure and analyze the exciton migration in two perylene bisimide-based J-aggregates composed of almost identical molecular building blocks but form double- versus quadruple strand slip-stacked supramolecular architectures. Analyzing ultrafast transient absorption spectra in dependence on the exciton density by a kinetic model for exciton-exciton annihila-tion based on incoherent transfer demonstrates that the migration is quasi one-dimensional. The migration distance is enhanced by a beneficial geometrical structure. We find a factor of more than two between the diffusion lengths of 188 nm and 77 nm for the double- and quadruple-stranded system. The supramolecu-lar design efficiently influences the exciton mobility and minor structural changes seem to have a pro-nounced influence on functional properties of dye aggregates.
