Study of charge transfer interaction modes in the mixed Donor-Acceptor cocrystals of pyrene derivatives and TCNQ: A combined structural, thermal, spectroscopic, and hirshfeld surfaces analysis

TCNQ-based organic cocrystal integrated red emission and n-type charge transport

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.

Polycyclic motif engineering in cyanostilbene-based donors towards highly efficient modulable emission properties in two-component systems

Cynostilbene based two-component materials are fabricated which exhibit tunable structures and excellent photophysical properties depending on the IP of the polycyclic moiety and organization of the donor-acceptor in the condensed phase.

Solvation-Enhanced Intermolecular Charge Transfer Interaction in Organic Cocrystals: Enlarged C-C Surface Close Contact in Mixed Packing between PTZ and TCNB

The mixed π-π packing of the donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules is the highlighting feature of the intermolecular interactions following charge transfer (CT) issues in organic cocrystal systems. There is an inverse relationship between the D-A interplanar distance and the intermolecular CT interaction. However, the D-A C-C surface close contact (relative areas) on the intermolecular CT interactions in organic cocrystal systems is rarely investigated. Herein, we designed and constructed a novel cocrystal and its solvate cocrystal. The structural and electrostatic potential analyses suggest that the solvation destroys the N-H···N hydrogen bond interaction between phenothiazine (PTZ) and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB), which causes the TCNB molecules to have a 90° rotation along the normal axis of the PTZ plane. Thus, the D-A C-C surface close contact is enlarged, strengthening the intermolecular π-π stacking interactions and intermolecular CT interaction between PTZ and TCNB, which are further evidenced by the absorption and Raman spectroscopic analyses. This study provides rare evidence of the enlarged C-C surface close contact in the mixed packing between D and A that greatly contributes to the intermolecular CT interaction in a D-A cocrystal system. It also provides a deeper understanding of the role of solvation in the structure-property relationship of organic cocrystal materials.
