Abstract
Organic charge-transfer complex (CTC) formation has emerged as an effective molecular engineering strategy for achieving the desired optical properties via intermolecular interactions. By synthesizing organic CTCs with carbazole-based electron donors and a 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane acceptor and adopting a molecular linker located remotely from the charge-transfer interface within the donors, we were able to modulate near-infrared absorptive and short-wavelength infrared emissive properties. Structural characterizations performed by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirmed that the unique molecular arrangements induced by the steric hindrance from the remotely located linker significantly influence the electronic interactions between the donor and acceptor molecules, resulting in different photophysical properties. Our findings offer an improved understanding of the interplay between molecular packing and optoelectronic properties, providing a foundation for designing advanced materials for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Bandgap-engineered inorganic and hybrid halide perovskite (HP) films, nanocrystals, and quantum dots (PQDs) are promising for solar cells. Fluctuations of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) rates affect the interfacial charge separation efficiencies of such solar cells. Electron donor- or acceptor-doped perovskite samples help analyze PET and harvest photogenerated charge carriers efficiently. Therefore, PET in perovskite-based donor-acceptor (D-A) systems has received considerable attention. We analyzed the fluctuations of interfacial PET from MAPbBr3 or CsPbBr3 PQDs to classical electron acceptors such as 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) at single-particle and ensemble levels. The significantly negative Gibbs free energy changes of PET estimated from the donor-acceptor redox potentials, the donor-acceptor sizes, and the solvent dielectric properties help us clarify the PET in the above D-A systems. The dynamic nature of PET is apparent from the decrease in photoluminescence (PL) lifetimes and PL photocounts of PQDs with an increase in the acceptor concentrations. Also, the acceptor radical anion spectrum helps us characterize the charge-separated states. Furthermore, the PL blinking time and PET rate fluctuations (108 to 107 s-1) provide us with single-molecule level information about interfacial PET in perovskites.

Abstract
Developing a new universal strategy to design all organic ferromagnets or multiferroics with satisfactory properties always remains challenging. In this work, ternary charge transfer crystals are fabricated to realize organic multiferroic magnetoelectric coupling effect. Through incorporating the third component into binary crystals, a dimerization between neighbor donor and acceptor is induced to form a lattice symmetry breaking, where a nonpolar to polar phase transition is ensuing to lead to a dipolar polarization. Magnetic field can effectively tune the dipolar polarization to present a magnetoelectric coupling effect. Moreover, the introduction of the third component can result in a rearrangement in molecular configuration to modify the electron-phonon interaction. As a result, anisotropic magnetism is observed due to anisotropic electron-phonon coupling in ternary crystals. Overall, this study forecasts that incorporating an appropriate third component is a potential method for designing all organic multiferroics.

Abstract
Despite the desirability of organic isomer recognition and separation, current strategies are expensive and complicated. Here, a simple strategy for simultaneously recognizing and separating organic isomers using pillararene-based charge-transfer cocrystals through the cooperative control of pore-inside and pore-outside intermolecular interactions is presented. This strategy is illustrated using 1-bromobutane (1-BBU), which is often produced as an isomeric mixture with 2-bromobutane (2-BBU). According to its structure, perethylated pillar[5]arene (EtP5) and 3,5-dinitrobenzonitrile (DNB) are strategically chosen as a donor and an acceptor. As a result, their cocrystal exhibited stronger pore-inside interactions and much weaker pore-outside interactions with 1-BBU than with 2-BBU. Consequently, nearly 100% 1-BBU selectivity is achieved in two-component mixtures, even in those containing trace 1-BBU (1%), whereas free EtP5 only achieved 89.80% selectivity. The preference for linear bromoalkanes is retained in 1-bromopentane/3-bromopentane and 1-bromohexane/2-bromohexane mixtures, demonstrating the generality of this strategy. Selective adsorption of linear bromoalkanes induced a naked-eye-detectable color change from red to white. Moreover, the cocrystal are used over multiple cycles without losing selectivity.

Abstract
Organic cocrystal exhibits excellent photothermal conversion (PTC), but how the intermolecular interactions of cocrystals regulate the PTC is obscure. Here, two isomeric donor molecules (phenanthrene and anthracene) and two electron-withdrawing molecules (7,7,8,8,8-tetracyanodimethylquinone and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinone dimethane) are self-assembled into the four cocrystals (PTQ, PFQ, ATQ, and AFQ). By changing the molecular configuration of the donor and the electron-withdrawing ability of the acceptor, the intrinsic influencing factors of the intermolecular interaction on the PTC were explored. Under near-infrared laser (808 nm) irradiation, the PTC efficiencies of PTQ, PFQ, AFQ, and ATQ are 35.85, 44.74, 57.00, and 60.53%, respectively. Based on the single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ultrafast time-resolved transient absorption, and excited-state theoretical calculations, we found that the π-π stacking in ATQ and AFQ is conducive to promoting the near-infrared light-harvesting ability and the p-π interaction of cocrystals can regulate the nonradiative rotation of -C(C≡N)2 groups, resulting in a tunable near-infrared PTC via the isomeric cocrystals. Accordingly, the evaporation rate of the porous polyurethane-AFQ foam can reach 1.33 kg·m-2·h-1 in the simulated solar-driven water evaporation system. This work provides a strategy to boost the PTC by the intermolecular interactions of cocrystal materials.

Abstract
We demonstrated the exciplex emission of supramolecular polymers (Bipy-1) possessing bipyridine and pyrene moieties. The distinctive exciplex emission of the supramolecular polymers was controlled by tuning the molecular conformation in different composition ratios of a mixed DMSO/H2O solution. The strong exciplex emission of the supramolecular polymer I with yellow emission was a consequence of the intramolecular charge-transfer interactions in a mixed DMSO/H2O (60 : 40-1 : 99 v/v) solution.
