Attractive Organic Cocrystal Materials in Optics

Since the beginning of this century, organic molecule solid material, one of favorable choices for constructing high-performance optoelectronic devices/circuits, has showed the impressive perspective in organic optoelectronics.Especially, because of the long-range order, absent grain boundary and extremely low defect density, organic single-crystal material support a great platform for fundament and application researches.Herein, cocrystal engineering, one simply collaborative strategy, shows offers the unique advantages, involving facile and low-cost synthesis procedure, easily achieving rare and multifunctional properties, tunable structure, morphology and size.It is extremely suitable to construct functional organic molecule solid material, especially novel multifunctional organic single-crystal materials.In this mini review, a overview of organic cocrystal is presented to introduce its attractive future in optics, such as OFET, lasing, nonlinear optics, optical waveguide material, stimuli-responsive material and other potential applications.
