Charge-Transfer Emission of Mixed Organic Cocrystal Microtubes over the Whole Composition Range

A series of crystalline mixed cocrystal microtubes comprising organic charge-transfer (CT) complexes has been prepared. The emission colors of the mixed cocrystal microtubes can be tailored from green to orange at low dopant concentrations (0 < x <= 5%), while their hexagonal cross sections can transform into square ones gradually at higher concentrations (0.15 < x < 1). In addition, we can further extend the solvent-processed synthetic route to other CT pairs based on structural compatibility consideration.
