Abstract
Two polymorphs of the 9-N-(3-imidazolylpropylamino)methylanthracene (Hanthraimmida) containing hydrated copper(II)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate complex are reported. The two polymorphs have either lamellar or Herringbone arrangements of π-stacks among the anthracenyl groups of organocation. The difference between the two polymorphs originated from having face-to-face stacking arrangements between the two anthracenyl groups of the symmetry independent cations within the unit cell in one of the polymorphs. The π-stacked anthracenyl groups in consecutive layers of the polymorphs are oriented in one direction in the polymorph designated as P1, whereas the polymorph designated as P2 has such orientations in opposite directions. The unit cell volume of the polymorph P2 (Z = 4) has approximately twice the volume of the polymorph P1 (Z = 2); it happend due to coalescence of two unit cells of P1 in the ab-crystallographic plane. A mixed methanol/water solvate of the copper complex is also reported. It has a channel-like arrangement of the cations; has the anions and the solvents within the cation embraced channel-like enclosures. This complex is unstable, once taken out from the methanol solvent, it transforms in real time to P2 by replacements of the methanol molecules by water molecules.

Abstract
The 2,3-didecyloxy derivative of an n-type anthracene (n-BG) and a p-type tetracene (p-R) have been synthesized and their self-assembly into nano-ribbons studied. Hyperspectral fluorescence imaging revealed their narcissistic self-sorting, leading to separated nanoribbons emitting with very different colors (blue or green for n-BG, depending on the growth solvent, and red for p-R). It is unique that the usual origins of self-sorting, such as specific H-bonding, different growth kinetics, or incompatible steric hindrance can be ruled out. Hence, the narcissistic behaviour is herein proposed to originate from a so-far unconsidered cause: the discrepancy between the quadrupolar character of n-BG and dipolar character of p-R. At the p-n junctions of these nanoribbons, inter-ribbon FRET and electro-luminescence switch-on were observed by fluorescence/luminescence microscopy.

Abstract
Molecular luminescent materials with optical waveguide properties have wide application prospects in the fields of sensors, filters, and modulators. However, designing and synthesizing optical waveguide materials with unique morphology, high emissive efficiency, and tunable optical properties in the same solid-state system remains an open challenge. In this work, we report new types of morphological one-dimensional (1D) organic metal halide hybrid micro/nanotubes and micro/nanorods, which exhibit excitation-dependent optical waveguide properties from visible to near-infrared (NIR) regions with low-loss coefficient and high emissive efficiency during the propagation process. Strong intermolecular interactions within the hybrid systems could effectively reduce the nonradiative transition and improve quantum efficiency. Photophysical studies and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the color-tunable emission can be attributed to the coexistence of locally excited states and charge-transfer states. Utilizing excitation-dependent optical waveguide emission ranging from visible to NIR regions, we fabricate an optical wavelength converter to transfer short-wavelength into long-wavelength emission with multichannels. Furthermore, an optical logic gate system was designed based on the tunable emission properties of the 1D metal halide micro/nanotubes. Therefore, this work provides not only a facile process to synthesize 1D organic metal halide hybrids with excitation-dependent optical waveguide properties but also a new way to advance photofunctional logic computation at the micro/nanoscale.

Abstract
The construction of organic optoelectronic materials with desirable size and morphology remains a challenge now. Crystal engineering strategies (polymorphs and cocrystals) provide convenience for tailoring molecular packing and further controlling the growth morphology and photofunctionality of materials. Herein, we prepare polymorphic 2D plate crystals and 3D microhelixes by assembly of a cyanostilbene derivative (2-(3',5'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-biphenyl-4-yl)-3-(4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)acrylonitrile, CF3-CN-Py). The former emits blue emission, while the latter emits green emission. Different crystallization environments contribute to the adjustable morphologies. Then, novel cocrystals are fabricated with the introduction of 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (FDIB) to CF3-CN-Py. Both molecular conformation and packing are totally changed in the cocrystal system. Such cocrystal displays a 1D sky-blue emissive rod shape on account of a long-range ordered π-stacking of molecules. In addition, the 2D plate crystal and 1D rod cocrystal are further applied to optical waveguides. In the plate crystal, a packing of transition dipole moment (μ) inclined to the upper surface leads to an anisotropic optical waveguide. In the cocrystal, owing to the nearly horizontal μ orientation, the cocrystal exhibits light propagation along the primary growth direction and a low optical loss coefficient. The present study supplies an effective way to construct materials with controlled morphology and optical waveguide.

Abstract
Most known two-dimensional materials lack a suitable wide-bandgap, and hydrogenation can be effectively utilized to tune the bandgap of some 2D materials. By employing density functional theory calculations, we investigate the effect of hydrogenation on the electronic and optical properties of a recently reported anisotropic penta-Pt2N4 monolayer. The results show that penta-Pt2N4 is thermally and mechanically stable after hydrogenation and also possesses anisotropic Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. The electronic property analysis using the hybrid functional reveals that penta-Pt2N4 exhibits a bandgap of 1.10 eV, and the hydrogenation significantly enhances the bandgap to 2.70 eV. Furthermore, the hydrogenated Pt2N4 displays a strong optical absorption of up to 6.45 × 105 cm-1 in the ultraviolet region, and low absorption and low reflectivity in the visible region. Our results strongly suggest that the hydrogenated Pt2N4 has tunable electronic and optical properties for applications as a hole-transport material layer in solar cells in the visible region, and as an ultraviolet detector in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Abstract
Anthracene derivative compounds are currently investigated because of their unique physical properties (e.g. bright luminescence and emission tunability), which make them ideal candidates for advanced optoelectronic devices. Intermolecular interactions are the basis of the tunability of the optical and electronic properties of these compounds, whose prediction and exploitation benefit from knowledge of the crystal structure and the packing architecture. Polymorphism can occur due to the weak intermolecular interactions, requiring detailed structural analysis to clarify the origin of observed material property modifications. Here, two silylethyne-substituted anthracene compounds are characterized by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction, identifying a new polymorph in the process. Additionally, laser confocal microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy confirm the results obtained by the X-ray diffraction characterization, i.e. shifting the substituents towards the external benzene rings of the anthracene unit favours π-π interactions, impacting on both the morphology and the microscopic optical properties of the crystals. The compounds with more isolated anthracene units feature shorter lifetime and emission spectra, more similar to those of isolated molecules. The crystallographic study, supported by the optical investigation, sheds light on the influence of non-covalent interactions on the crystal packing and luminescence properties of anthracene derivatives, providing a further step towards their efficient use as building blocks in active components of light sources and photonic networks.
