Abstract
Variable stoichiometry co-crystals are important in solid-state supramolecular chemistry as they allow studies of structure-property relationships while permitting the synthesis of new scaffolds using identical synthons. In this work, we extend the concept of variable stoichiometry co-crystals into the realm of pillararene chemistry and show that this permits the rational construction of a diverse set of supramolecular structures in the solid state. Specifically, we report a series of variable stoichiometry co-crystals based on pillar[n]arenes and tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) and show that the combination of in-cavity complexation by pillar[n]arenes (n = 5,6) and outside binding with TCNB allows several types of co-crystals with different self-assembled superstructures to be isolated. The variable stoichiometry co-crystals of this study display different solid-state physicochemical properties, including colors and luminescence features. Among these pillar[n]arene-based co-crystals, we discovered unique crystallographic architectures wherein two sets of individual host-guest complexes co-exist in the solid state. These mixed co-crystal systems allow for vapochromic-based detection of n-bromoalkanes. This work highlights a new strategy for the construction of self-assembled superstructures in the solid state and for tuning their intrinsic characteristics, including their luminescent and substrate-responsive features.

Abstract
Formation of organic co-crystals is an effective strategy to synthesize near infrared emission and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, which often show "1 + 1 > 2" performance. Moreover, the crystallization process can be effectively regulated through supramolecular interactions; thus the properties of co-crystal materials can also be flexibly regulated. Here, in order to further understand the nature and formation mechanism of co-crystals from the perspective of theoretical research, we studied the structures, intermolecular interactions, absorption spectra, charge transfer (CT) characteristics and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the newly synthesized organic co-crystals formed between naphthalenediimide based triangles (NDI, acceptor) and coronene (COR, donor). According to the analysis of decomposition of intermolecular interaction energy, dispersion energy played a major role, so the co-crystal properties can be regulated by regulating the intermolecular dispersion energy. More importantly, the formation of co-crystals NDI-COR and NDI-2COR reduced the Egap values with respect to those of their components. And there was significant intermolecular CT from COR to NDI and the degree of CT in NDI-COR was larger than that in NDI-2COR, so that the αtot and γtot values of NDI-COR and NDI-2COR were significantly greater than those of their components. Thus, the NLO properties of organic co-crystals can be further improved by enhancing the electron-donating ability of the donor and the electron-withdrawing ability of the acceptor to enhance the degree of intermolecular interaction energy and CT.

Abstract
Heavy-atom-containing clusters, nanocrystals, and other semiconductors can sensitize the triplet states of their surface-bonded chromophores, but the energy loss, such as nonradiative deactivation, often prevents the synergistic light emission in their solid-state coassemblies. Cocrystallization allows new combinations of molecules with complementary properties for achieving functionalities not available in single components. Here, the cocrystal formation that employs platinum(II) acetylacetonate (Pt(acac)2 ) as a triplet sensitizer and electron-deficient 1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimides (NDIs) as organic phosphors is reported. The hybrid cocrystals exhibit room-temperature phosphorescence confined in the low-lying, long-lived triplet state of NDIs with photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (ΦPL ) exceeding 25% and a phosphorescence lifetime (τPh ) of 156 µs. This remarkable PL property benefits from the noncovalent electronic and spin-orbital coupling between the constituents.

Abstract
Supramolecular packing dictates the physical properties of bio-inspired molecular assemblies in the solid state. Yet, modulating the stacking modes of bio-inspired supramolecular assemblies remains a challenge and the structure-property relationship is still not fully understood, which hampers the rational design of molecular structures to fabricate materials with desired properties. Herein, we present a co-assembly strategy to modulate the supramolecular packing of N-terminally capped alanine-based assemblies (Ac-Ala) by changing the amino acid chirality and mixing with a nonchiral bipyridine derivative (BPA). The co-assembly induced distinct solid-state stacking modes determined by X-ray crystallography, resulting in significantly enhanced electromechanical properties of the assembly architectures. The highest rigidity was observed after the co-assembly of racemic Ac-Ala with a bipyridine coformer (BPA/Ac-DL-Ala), which exhibited a measured Young's modulus of 38.8 GPa. Notably, BPA crystallizes in a centrosymmetric space group, a condition that is broken when co-crystallized with Ac-L-Ala and Ac-D-Ala to induce a piezoelectric response. Enantiopure co-assemblies of BPA/Ac-D-Ala and BPA/Ac-L-Ala showed density functional theory-predicted piezoelectric responses that are remarkably higher than the other assemblies due to the increased polarization of their supramolecular packing. This is the first report of a centrosymmetric-crystallizing coformer which increases the single-crystal piezoelectric response of an electrically active bio-inspired molecular assembly. The design rules that emerge from this investigation of chemically complex co-assemblies can facilitate the molecular design of high-performance functional materials comprised of bio-inspired building blocks.

Abstract
We developed a very efficient and expandable divergent approach initiated by a direct electrophilic borylation at phenyl rings to synthesize a series of double heterohelicenes. Their π-extended structures with pristine zigzag nitrogen (N)-boron (B)-nitrogen (N) edges offer them substantial physical properties and strong double hydrogen-bond donating capability. The isolated (P,P) and (M,M) enantiomers exhibit circularly polarized luminescence in response to hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Abstract
Precise recognition of near-infrared (NIR) signals holds great prospects in optical communication, remote sensing, information security, and anti-counterfeiting. For these applications, filters with good NIR transparency are typically essential components. Currently, such NIR transparent filters are dominated by inorganic materials such as chalcogenide glasses. There are, so far, only a handful of organic molecules with suitable optical properties due to the rarity of organic materials with good NIR transparency and relatively flat absorption over the UV-visible region. Here, it is found that the library of NIR-transparent organic materials can be expanded by forming a charge-transfer complex (CTC) between a donor (D) and an acceptor (A) molecule that are commercially available. Via regulating the DA interaction, the CTC filter shows tunable absorption from the visible to NIR region with a relatively high penetration of NIR radiation (≈80%). The CTC filter can successfully highlight NIR information hidden in a complex environment and allow reading of NIR security images for advanced anti-counterfeiting. Moreover, the CTC filter can be used for viewing protected NIR information with good resolution, and thus provide a convenient tool for different security applications using NIR-encoded information.

Abstract
Developing a suitable initiation for the energetic materials that respond to a low-power near-infrared laser can aid in replacing the current expensive and bulky laser-initiation systems. Here, we report on a system of molecularly tailored 1:1 donor-acceptor (D-A) charge-transfer (CT) cocrystals that manifest ultrabroad absorption (200-2500 nm) characteristics as well as noteworthy very fast self-assembly behaviors. The very narrow highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gap enables N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine and tetrahalo-1,4-benzoquinones (TMPD-TXBQ) cocrystals to have a great light-harvesting ability in the near-infrared range. When irradiated with a low-power hand-held 808 nm laser with an input energy of only 40 mJ or a power density of 260 mW·cm-2, these TMPD-TXBQ cocrystals immediately undergo an efficient photothermal conversion followed by a dramatic exothermic thermal polymerization reaction due to the face-to-face D-A-D-A stacking in these cocystals to achieve a temperature as high as 318.9 °C. This temperature is high enough for a thermal initiation of most common energetic materials, and thus this TMPD-TXBQ cocrystal can potentially act as a near-infrared laser initiator that is compact, lightweight, and cost-effective.

Abstract
Charge-transfer assemblies (CTAs) represent a new class of functional material due to their excellent optical properties, and show great promise in the biomedical field. Porphyrins are widely used photosensitizers, but the short absorption wavelengths may restrict their practical applications. To obtain porphyrin phototherapeutic agents with red-shifted absorption, charge-transfer nanoscale assemblies (TAPP-TCNQ NPs) of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) and 7,7,8,8‑tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) were prepared via optimizing the stoichiometric ratios of donor-acceptor. The as-prepared TAPP-TCNQ NPs exhibit red-shifted absorption to the near-infrared (NIR) region and enhanced absorbance because of the charge-transfer interactions. In especial, TAPP-TCNQ NPs possess the capacity of both photodynamic and photothermal therapy, thus effectively killing the bacteria upon 808 nm laser irradiation. This modular assembly method provides an alternative strategy to enhance the application of the phototherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Charge transfer (CT) interaction induced formation of a hierarchical supramolecular assembly has attracted attention due to its wide diversity of structural and functional characteristics. In the present work, we report the generation of green luminescent microspheres from the charge transfer interaction induced co-assembly of a bis-naphthyl dipicolinic amide (DPA) derivative with tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) for the first time. The properties of these self-assemblies were studied both in solution and the solid-state using spectroscopic and a variety of microscopy techniques. The X-ray crystal structure analysis showed a mixed stack arrangement of DPA and TCNB. The molecular orbital and energy level calculations confirm the charge transfer complex formation between DPA and TCNB. Furthermore, energy transfer was observed from the green luminescent CT complex to a red-emitting dye, pyronin Y, in the microsphere matrix, leading to the formation of a light-harvesting tri-component self-assembly.

Abstract
The design of low-dimensional organic-inorganic interfaces for the next generation of opto-electronic applications requires in-depth understanding of the microscopic mechanisms ruling electronic interactions in these systems. In this work, we present a first-principles study based on density-functional theory inspecting the structural, energetic, and electronic properties of five molecular donors and acceptors adsorbed on freestanding hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) monolayers. All considered interfaces are stable, due to the crucial contribution of dispersion interactions, which are maximized by the overall flat arrangement of the physisorbed molecules on both substrates. The level alignment of the hybrid systems depends on the characteristics of the constituents. On hBN, both type-I and type-II interfaces may form, depending on the relative energies of the frontier orbitals with respect to the vacuum level. On the other hand, all MoS2-based hybrid systems exhibit a type-II level alignment, with the molecular frontier orbitals positioned across the energy gap of the semiconductor. The electronic structure of the hybrid materials is further determined by the formation of interfacial dipole moments and by the wave-function hybridization between the organic and inorganic constituents. These results provide important indications for the design of novel low-dimensional hybrid materials with suitable characteristics for opto-electronics.

Abstract
Organic heterostructure nanowires, such as multiblock, core/shell, branch-like and related compounds, have attracted chemists’ extensive attention because of their novel physicochemical properties. However, owing to the difficulty in solving the lattice mismatch of distinct molecules, the construction of organic heterostructures at large scale remains challenging, which restricts its wide use in future applications. In this work, we define a concept of lattice-mismatch-free for hierarchical self-assembly of organic semiconductor molecules, allowing for the large-scale synthesis of organic heterostructure nanowires composed of the organic alloys and cocrystals. Thus, various types of organic triblock nanowires are prepared in large scale, and the length ratio of different segments of the triblock nanowires can be precisely regulated by changing the stoichiometric ratio of different components. These results pave the way towards fine synthesis of heterostructures in a large scale and facilitate their applications in organic optoelectronics at micro/nanoscale. The large-scale synthesis of organic heterostructure nanowires is challenging. Here, the authors report the synthesis of organic triblock nanowires via a lattice mismatch-free strategy.

Abstract
Currently, organic semiconductors (OSs) are widely used as active components in practical devices related to energy storage and conversion, optoelectronics, catalysis, and biological sensors, etc. To satisfy the actual requirements of different types of devices, chemical structure design and self-assembly process control have been synergistically performed. The morphology and other basic properties of multiscale OS components are governed on a broad scale from nanometers to macroscopic micrometers. Herein, the up-to-date design strategies for fabricating multiscale OSs are comprehensively reviewed. Related representative works are introduced, applications in practical devices are discussed, and future research directions are presented. Design strategies combining the advances in organic synthetic chemistry and supramolecular assembly technology perform an integral role in the development of a new generation of multiscale OSs.

Abstract
Constructing multicolor photoluminescent materials with tunable properties is an attractive research objective on account of their abundant applications in materials science and biomedical engineering. By comparison with covalent synthesis, supramolecular chemistry has provided a more competitive and promising strategy for the production of organic materials and the regulation of their photophysical properties. By taking advantage of dynamic and reversible noncovalent bonding interactions, supramolecular strategies can, not only simplify the design and fabrication of organic materials, but can also endow them with dynamic reversibility and stimuli responsiveness, making it much easier to adjust the superstructures and properties of the materials. Occasionally, it is possible to introduce emergent properties into these materials, which are absent in their precursor compounds, broadening their potential applications. In an attempt to highlight the state-of-the-art noncovalent strategies available for the construction of smart luminescent materials, an overview of color-tunable materials is presented in this Review, with the emphasis being placed on the examples drawn from host-guest complexes, supramolecular assemblies and crystalline materials. The noncovalent synthesis of room-temperature phosphorescent materials and the modulation of their luminescent properties are also described. Finally, future directions and scientific challenges in the emergent field of color-tunable supramolecular emissive materials are discussed.

Abstract
Supramolecular assembly is a promising bottom-up approach for producing materials that behave as charge transporting components in electronic devices. Although extensive advances have been made during the past two decades, formidable challenges exist in controlling the local randomness present in supramolecular assemblies. Here, a temperature-triggered supramolecular assembly strategy using heat to heal defects and disorders is reported. The central concept of the molecular design-named the "Tetris strategy" in this research-is to: i) increase the rotational freedom of the molecules through thermal perturbation, ii) induce conformation-fitting of adjacent molecules through two different kinds of intermolecular [π···π] interactions, and finally iii) lock the nearby molecules in inactive co-conformations. Experimentally, upon heating to 57 °C, amorphous solid-state films undergo spontaneous assembly, leading to the growth of uniform and highly ordered microwire arrays. Temperature-triggered supramolecular assembly provides an approach closer to the precision control of assembled structures and presents with a broad canvas to work on in approaching a new generation of supramolecular electronics.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical agent theophylline (THEO) is primarily used as a bronchodilator and is commercially available in both tablet and liquid dosage forms. THEO is highly hygroscopic, reducing its stability, overall shelf-life, and therefore usage as a drug. THEO and dicarboxylic acid cocrystals were designed by Trask et al. in an attempt to decrease the hygroscopic behaviour of THEO; cocrystallisation of THEO with malonic acid (MA) did not improve the hygroscopic stability of THEO in simulated atmospheric humidity testing. The current study employed high-resolution X-ray crystallography, and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to examine the electron density distribution (EDD) changes between the cocrystal and its individual components. The EED changes identified the reasons why the THEO:MA cocrystal did not alter the hygroscopic profile of THEO. The cocrystal was equally porous, with atomic packing factors (APF) similar to those of THEO 0.73 vs. 0.71, respectively. The THEO:MA (1) cocrystal structure is held together by an array of interactions; a heterogeneous synthon between the imidazole and a carboxylic fragment stabilising the asymmetric unit, a pyrimidine-imidazole homosynthon, and an aromatic cycle stack between two THEO moieties have been identified, providing 9.7-12.9 kJ mol-1 of stability. These factors did not change the overall relative stability of the cocrystal relative to its individual THEO and MA components, as shown by cocrystal (1) and THEO being equally stable, with calculated lattice energies within 2.5 kJ mol-1 of one other. The hydrogen bond analysis and fragmented atomic charge analysis highlighted that the formation of (1) combined both the EDD of THEO and MA with no net chemical change, suggesting that the reverse reaction - (1) back to THEO and MA - is of equal potential, ultimately producing THEO hydrate formation, in agreement with the work of Trask et al. These results highlight that a review of the EDD change associated with a chemical reaction can aid in understanding cocrystal design. In addition, they indicate that cocrystal design requires further investigation before becoming a reliable process, with particular emphasis on identifying the appropriate balance of synthon engineering, weak interactions, and packing dynamics.

Abstract
Simultaneously realizing the optical and electrical properties of organic materials is always challenging. Herein, a convenient and promising strategy for designing organic materials with integrated optoelectronic properties based on cocrystal engineering has been put forward. By selecting the fluorene (Flu) and the 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as functional constituents, the Flu-TCNQ cocrystal prepared shows deep red emission at 702 nm, which is comparable to the commercialized red quantum dot. The highest electron mobility of organic field-effect transistor (OFET) based on Flu-TCNQ is 0.32 cm2 V-1 s-1. Spectroscopic analysis indicates that the intermolecular driving force contributing to the co-assembly of Flu-TCNQ is mainly charge transfer (CT) interaction, which leads to its different optoelectronic properties from constituents.

Abstract
The physical characteristics of supramolecular assemblies composed of small building blocks are dictated by molecular packing patterns in the solid-state. Yet, the structure-property correlation is still not fully understood. Herein, we report the unexpected cofacial to herringbone stacking transformation of a small aromatic bipyridine through co-assembly with acetylated glutamic acid. The unique solid-state structural transformation results in enhanced physical properties of the supramolecular organizations. The co-assembly methodology was further expanded to obtain diverse molecular packings by different bipyridine and acetylated amino acid derivatives. This study presents a feasible co-assembly approach to achieve the solid-state stacking transformation of supramolecular organization and opens up new opportunities to further explore the relationship between molecular arrangement and properties of supramolecular assemblies by crystal engineering.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), an emerging class of organic crystalline polymers with highly oriented structures and permanent porosity, can adopt 2D or 3D architectures depending on the different topological diagrams of the monomers. Notably, 2D COFs have particularly gained much attention due to the extraordinary merits of their extended in-plane π-conjugation and topologically ordered columnar π-arrays. These properties together with high crystallinity, large surface area, and tunable porosity distinguish 2D COFs as an ideal candidate for the fabrication of functional materials. Herein, this review surveys the recent research advances in 2D COFs with special emphasis on the preparation of 2D COF powders, single crystals, and thin films, as well as their advanced optical, electrical, and magnetic functionalities. Some challenging issues and potential research outlook for 2D COFs are also provided for promoting their development in terms of structure, synthesis, and functionalities.

[PMID: 35335767 PMCID: PMC8953273 DOI: 10.3390/nano12060954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures possess huge potential in electronics and optoelectronics, but the axial alignment of such 1D structures is still a challenging task. Herein, we report a simple method that enables two-dimensional (2D) C60 microsheets to evolve into highly ordered nanorod arrays using rubrene as a structure-directing agent. The structural transformation is accomplished by adding droplets of rubrene-m-xylene solution onto C60 microsheets and allowing the m-xylene solvent to evaporate naturally. In sharp contrast, when rubrene is absent from m-xylene, randomly oriented C60 nanorods are produced. Spectroscopic and microscopic characterizations collectively indicate a rather plausible transformation mechanism that the close lattice match allows the epitaxial growth of rubrene on C60 microsheets, followed by the reassembly of dissolved C60 along the aligned rubrene due to the intermolecular charge-transfer (CT) interactions, leading to the formation of ordered nanorod arrays. Due to the aligned structures and the CT interactions between rubrene and C60, the photocurrent density of the nanorod arrays is improved by 31.2% in the UV region relative to the randomly oriented counterpart. This work presents a facile and effective strategy for the construction of ordered fullerene nanorod arrays, providing new ideas for the alignment of fullerene and other relevant organic microstructures.

Abstract
Organic charge-transfer complexes (CTCs) can function as versatile second near-infrared (NIR-II) theranostic platforms to tackle complicated solid tumors, while the structure–property relationship is still an unanswered problem. To uncover the effect of molecular stacking modes on photophysical and biochemical properties, herein, five ferrocene derivatives were synthesized as electron donors and co-assembled with electron-deficient F4TCNQ to form the corresponding CTCs. The crystalline and photophysical results showed that only herringbone-aligned CTCs (named anion-radical salts, ARS NPs) possess good NIR-II absorption ability and a photothermal effect for short π–π distances (<3.24 Å) and strong π-electron delocalization in the 1D F4TCNQ anion chain. More importantly, the ARS NPs simultaneously possess ·OH generation and thiol (Cys, GSH) depletion abilities to perturb cellular redox homeostasis for ROS/LPO accumulation and enhanced ferroptosis. In vitro experiments, FcNEt-F4 NPs, and typical ARS NPs, show outstanding antitumor efficiency for the synergistic effect of NIR-II photothermal therapy and ferroptosis, which provides a new paradigm to develop versatile CTCs for anti-tumor application. Based on crystal engineering of charge transfer complexes (CTCs), ferrocene-based CTCs, with Fenton-catalyzing, biothiol-responsive and NIR-II photothermal abilities, were controllably developed and the structure–property relationship was revealed.![]()

Abstract
Cocrystal engineering is an advanced supramolecular strategy that has attracted a lot of research interest. Many studies on cocrystals in various application fields have been reported, with a particular focus on the optoelectronics field. However, few articles have combined and summarized the electronic and magnetic properties of cocrystals. In this review, we first introduce the growth methods that serve as the basis for realizing the different properties of cocrystals. Thereafter, we present an overview of cocrystal applications in electronic and magnetic fields. Some functional devices based on cocrystals are also introduced. We hope that this review will provide researchers with a more comprehensive understanding of the latest progress and prospects of cocrystals in electronic and magnetic fields.

Abstract
Strong intermolecular interactions in 2D organic molecular crystals arising from π-π stacking have been widely explored to achieve high thermal stability, high carrier mobility, and novel physical properties, which have already produced phenomenal progress. However, strong intermolecular interactions in 2D inorganic molecular crystals (2DIMCs) have rarely been investigated, severely limiting both the fundamental research in molecular physics and the potential applications of 2DIMCs for optoelectronics. Here, the effect of strong intermolecular interactions induced by unique short intermolecular Se-Se and P-Se contacts in 2D α-P4Se3 nanoflakes is reported. On the basis of theoretical calculations of the charge density distribution and an analysis of the thermal expansion and plastic-crystal transition, the physical picture of strong intermolecular interactions can be elucidated as a higher charge density between adjacent P4Se3 molecules, arising from an orderly and close packing of P4Se3 molecules. More importantly, encouraged by the strong intermolecular coupling, the in-plane mobility of α-P4Se3 nanoflakes is first calculated with a quantum nuclear tunneling model, and a competitive hole mobility of 0.4 cm2 V-1 s-1 is obtained. Our work sheds new light on the intermolecular interactions in 2D inorganic molecular crystals and is highly significant for promoting the development of molecular physics and optoelectronics.

Abstract
Organic cocrystal engineering refers to two or more organic molecules stoichiometrically combined and held together by noncovalent intermolecular interactions, which differs from standard chemical synthesis involving covalent bond breakage and formation. Organic cocrystals have unique properties and offer a new strategy for creating enhanced organics. First, however, some key questions need to be addressed: How do diverse monomers affect the intermolecular interaction kinetics during cocrystallization? How do the intermolecular forces in cocrystals affect cocrystal functions? In this Perspective, the definition and advantages of organic cocrystal engineering, specifically in the construction of a reliable intermolecular interaction-stacking structure-performance relationship, are outlined. Additionally, recent developments in the field and the questions above are discussed. Finally, a brief conclusion and some hints on likely future developments are provided.

Abstract
Organic self-assembled co-crystals have garnered considerable attention due to their facile synthesis and intriguing properties, but supramolecular interactions restrict their stability in aqueous solution, which is especially important for biological applications. Herein, we report on the first biological application of aqueous dispersible self-assembled organic co-crystals via the construction of metal-organic framework (MOF) -stabilized co-crystals. In particular, we built an electron-deficient MOF with naphthalene diimide (NDI) as the ligand and biocompatible Ca2+ as the metal nodes. An electron donor molecule, pyrene, was encapsulated to form the host-guest MOF self-assembled co-crystal. We observed that such MOF structure leads to uniquely high-density ordered arrangement and the close intermolecular distance (3.47 Å) of the charge transfer pairs. Hence, the concomitant superior charge transfer interaction between pyrene/NDI can be attained and the resultant photothermal conversion efficiency of Py@Ca-NDI in aqueous solution can thus reach up to 41.8 %, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest value among the reported organic co-crystal materials; it is also much higher than that of the FDA approved photothermal agent ICG as well as most of the reported MOFs. Based on this realization, as a proof of concept, we demonstrated that such a self-assembled organic co-crystal platform can be used in biological applications that are exemplified via highly effective long wavelength light photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Cocrystal engineering have been widely applied in pharmaceutical, chemistry and material fields. However, how to effectively choose coformer has been a challenging task on experiments. Here we develop a graph neural network (GNN) based deep learning framework to quickly predict formation of the cocrystal. In order to capture main driving force to crystallization from 6819 positive and 1052 negative samples reported by experiments, a feasible GNN framework is explored to integrate important prior knowledge into end-to-end learning on the molecular graph. The model is strongly validated against seven competitive models and three challenging independent test sets involving pharmaceutical cocrystals, π-π cocrystals and energetic cocrystals, exhibiting superior performance with accuracy higher than 96%, confirming its robustness and generalization. Furthermore, one new energetic cocrystal predicted is successfully synthesized, showcasing high potential of the model in practice. All the data and source codes are available at https://github.com/Saoge123/ccgnet for aiding cocrystal community.

Abstract
Organic cocrystals whose unique polymorphic feature can provide a feasible way to investigate and understand the relationship between luminescence properties and aggregate structures have attracted increasing attention in the area of organic optoelectronics. Herein, we prepare polymorphic cocrystals (C1, C2) by using 9,10-bis((E)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)vinyl)anthracene (BP3VA) as chromophore and 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene (FIB) as conformer. Both C1 and C2 stack with segregated stacking form, but different intermolecular interactions promote the formation of sheet cocrystals C1 and needle cocrystals C2. C1 exhibits anisotropic optical waveguide property and photoluminescent polarization, while C2 only exhibits the quasi-one-dimensional optical waveguide property. The different optical properties originate from the varieties of molecular packing modes and directions of the optical transition dipole in the two polymorphic cocrystals, which can be clarified through the structure analysis and theoretical calculation. The study can provide a deep understanding of the structure-property relationship of cocrystals and benefit the rational design of novel functional materials.

Abstract
We demonstrate the solvent-free amorphous-to-cocrystalline transformations of nanoscale molecular films. Exposing amorphous films to vapors of a haloarene results in the formation of a cocrystalline coating. This transformation proceeds by gradual strengthening of halogen-bonding interactions as a result of the crystallization process. The gas-solid diffusion mechanism involves formation of an amorphous metastable phase prior to crystallization of the films. In situ optical microscopy shows mass transport during this process, which is confirmed by cross-section analysis of the final structures using focused ion beam milling combined with scanning electron microscopy. Nanomechanical measurements show that the rigidity of the amorphous films influences the crystallization process. This surface transformation results in molecular arrangements that are not readily obtained through other means. Cocrystals grown in solution crystallize in a monoclinic centrosymmetric space group, whereas the on-surface halogen-bonded assembly crystallizes into a noncentrosymmetric material with a bulk second-order nonlinear optical response.
