Abstract. This paper explores the excitonic spectra and their manifestation in the linear absorption in the 3D model of a hexagonal donor–acceptor crystal of the crystallographic point group 6̅. A similar two-component crystal of alternative parallel layers with hexagonal order in each layer has been synthesized. Two types of excitons, Frenkel excitons (FEs) and charge-transfer excitons (CTEs) have been considered along with their coupling and the exciton--phonon coupling with one mode of intramolecular vibrations. We find also the symmetry allowed combinations of FEs and CTEs. The excitonic and vibronic spectra have been calculated and numerically simulated.
