Abstract

Organic cocrystals, formed by a combination of electron-rich donors and electron-poor acceptors, play an important role in tailoring the optoelectronic properties of molecular materials. Charge transfer interactions in cocrystals not only endow them with an ordered three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network in different constituent units, but also render them ideal scaffolds to control the intermolecular interactions in multicomponent solids. In this perspective, we firstly introduce preparation methods, molecular packing modes and charge transfer in organic cocrystals. Then, we focus on the novel and promising optoelectronic properties of organic cocrystals based on charge transfer interactions. Finally, we briefly discuss the outlook for the future development of these multicomponent crystalline materials.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
