Elastic organic semiconducting single crystals for durable all-flexible field-effect transistors: insights into the bending mechanism

Ranita Samanta et al.

Summary: Although there are many mechanically flexible crystals, their utility in all-flexible devices is not yet demonstrated. In this study, we report two alkylated diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) semiconducting single crystals, one of which is elastic and the other is brittle. The elastic crystal showed superior stress tolerance and field-effect mobility compared to the brittle crystal. The results provide insights into the bending mechanism and demonstrate the untapped potential of mechanically flexible semiconducting crystals for designing durable field-effect transistor devices.

Side-Chain Engineering of Organic Crystals for Lasing Media with Tunable Flexibility

Baolei Tang et al.

Summary: Abundant high-performance organic crystals have been reported, but their brittleness restricts their applications. Some organic crystals have been designed to be deformable, but their development relies on molecular framework design. In this study, a side-chain engineering strategy is proposed to easily modulate the mechanical compliance of organic crystals. Changing the side chains subtly alters the mechanical behaviors while maintaining the unique optical functions. The potential applications of the flexible crystals as soft optical transducing media are evaluated through optical waveguides and amplified spontaneous emissions.

Amphibian-like Flexible Organic Crystal Optical Fibers for Underwater/Air Micro-Precision Lighting and Sensing

Avulu Vinod Kumar et al.

Summary: In this study, we introduce visible light guiding optical fibers with underwater operational capability for subaquatic communication and sensing technologies. The fibers are composed of mechanically flexible, blue-violet fluorescent BPP crystal waveguides with high-aspect ratio, demonstrating their amphibian-like character in both ambient and underwater conditions. The high flexibility of the crystals allows for mechanical alteration of the fiber's output light direction, making them suitable for high-precision lighting and sensing applications. This development of multi-environment-compatible and mechanically flexible organic optical fibers as sensing materials has tremendous potential for short-range underwater photonic technologies.

Coordination Sphere Flexibility Leads to Elastic Deformation in a One-Dimensional Coordination Polymer Crystal

Sajesh P. Thomas et al.

Summary: This article reports a mechanically flexible one-dimensional coordination polymer that exhibits elastic bending. By utilizing various techniques including XRD, high-pressure crystallography, synchrotron micro-XRD mapping, and high-resolution synchrotron X-ray charge density analysis, the inter and intra-chain bonding as well as structural flexibility were quantitatively investigated. The results reveal that the helical coordination polymer behaves like a spring when subjected to external stimuli. The exceptional coordination sphere flexibility, attributed to the presence of Jahn-Teller distorted coordination bonds, contributes to the polymer's flexibility.

Crystal Design for Tuning the Mechanical Flexibilities of M(salophen) Complexes

Yoshihiro Sekine et al.

Summary: Elastic crystals are novel materials for optoelectronics and solar cells. This study reports the preparation of mechanically flexible compounds using metal coordination complexes. The packing structure of the crystals was influenced by the crystallization solvent, and control over the packing process was crucial in obtaining designed flexibilities and structures. New Pd and Pt complexes with high elastic strains were demonstrated, and the effects were attributed to microscopic changes in bond distance between metals and ligands. These findings are expected to inspire the development of metal-complex-based flexible crystals.

Organic Long-Persistent Luminescence from a Single-Component Aggregate

Parvej Alam et al.

Summary: Long-persistent luminescence (LPL), also known as afterglow, is a phenomenon where a material continues to emit light after the excitation source is turned off. It has attracted much interest due to its fundamental nature and potential in developing new functional materials. Most current LPL materials are complex inorganic systems that require harsh synthetic procedures and rare-earth metals. However, metal-free organic long-persistent luminescence (OLPL) has gained interest as it overcomes some of the disadvantages of inorganic systems. The most successful method to generate OLPL systems is through binary donor-acceptor exciplex systems, but the ratios of the binary systems can complicate reproducibility and large-scale production. Therefore, simpler OLPL systems are needed for easier design and production.
