Self-assembled organic homostructures with tunable optical waveguides fabricated via "cocrystal engineering"

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Nov 9;57(89):11803-11806. doi: 10.1039/d1cc04675f.

Abstract

Organic homostructures with tunable physiochemical properties were fabricated by simply changing the isomer molecules via the "cocrystal engineering" approach. The morphology of the cocrystals can be changed into rod-like or branched, with superior waveguide and multi-directional waveguide performance, respectively, which contributes to the realization of optical waveguide modules with integrated functions.
