Graphical Abstract

Through modulating hierarchical charge-transfer intermolecular interactions and sequential crystal nucleation rate based on the two different cocrystals of benzo(c)phenanthrene-1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (BHT-TCNB) and benzo(c)phenanthrene-1,3-dicyanotetrachlorobenzene (BHT-m-TCP), we accurately prepared three kinds of axial heterostructures involving the unilateral axial organic heterostructures (OHSs), bilateral single-branching axial OHSs and bilateral multi-branching axial OHSs, which realize multi-color emission and multi-channel outputs.

Abstract

The controlled self-assembly of organic heterostructures (OHSs) with precisely defined compositions, architectures, and interfaces, have largely remained a challenge. Herein, we introduce an effective approach to accurately construct three types of axial branching OHSs including unilateral axial OHSs, bilateral single-branching axial OHSs and bilateral multi-branching axial OHSs through modulating hierarchical charge-transfer intermolecular interactions and sequential crystal nucleation rate on account of the two different cocrystals with the low lattice mismatching rate of ~ 2.2%. The present work opens an avenue for rationally designing and finely synthesizing more kinds of OHSs.
