Aggregation structures of organic conjugated molecules on their optoelectronic properties

The intimate connection between stacking modes and optoelectronic properties of organic conjugated materials has been discussed from the viewpoints of developing microscopic models and further understanding of their functions and potential applications. In particular, three basal dimer configurations (cofacial configuration, staggered configuration, and crossed configuration) and their respective optical (including radiative and non-radiative) and electrical properties are expatiated in detail. Eventually, we put forward the perspective on achieving the promising laser material that features high fluorescence quantum yield and charge mobility.
