Abstract:
Organic charge-transfer co-crystals with varied donor-acceptor stoichiometric ratios and molecular packing structures are controllably prepared with the morphology of nanowires or microblocks. They have distinct charge transport behavior and photoresponsivity. These interesting results pave the way for rational design and preparation of co-crystals with desired functions.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
