We have rationally designed a densely packed 1:1 donor-acceptor (D-A) cocrystal system comprising two isometric distyrylbenzene- and dicyanodistyrylbenzene-based molecules, forming regular one-dimensional mixed stacks. The crystal exhibits strongly red-shifted, bright photoluminescence originating from an intermolecular charge-transfer state. peculiar electronic situation gives rise to high ambipolar p-/n-type field-effect mobility up 6.7 × 10(-3) 10(-2) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), respectively, as...
We report on a molecularly tailored 1:1 donor-acceptor (D-A) charge-transfer (CT) cocrystal that manifests strongly red-shifted CT luminescence characteristics, as well noteworthy reconfigurable self-assembling behaviors. A loosely packed molecular organization is obtained consequence of the noncentrosymmetric chemical structure molecule A1, which gives rise to considerable free volume and weak intermolecular interactions. The stacking features complex result in an external...

Combined structural, photophysical, and quantum-chemical studies at the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) level precisely reveal structure-property relationships in a mixed-stack donor-acceptor cocrystal, which displays vibronically structured fluorescence, strongly red-shifted against spectra of parent donor acceptor, with high yield despite pronounced CT character emitting state.

Highly fluorescent excited‐state charge‐transfer complexes (exciplexes) formed at the interfacial region between a polymeric donor matrix, here, poly( N ‐vinylcarbazole), and embedded nanostructured acceptors are characterized for their photophysical properties. Exciplex‐to‐exciton emission switching is observed after solvent vapor annealing (SVA) due to size evolution of nanostructures beyond exciton diffusion length. Color‐tunable exiplex (sky blue, green, orange) demonstrated three...

While the CT well established as to enable interpretation prediction their electrical properties, photophysical processes—particularly emission–structure relationship in crystals—are much less explored; this is because often weak photoluminescence (PL), attributed small oscillator strength (f)...
