Abstract
Flexible organic crystals have attracted a lot of attention due to their potential applications in flexible sensors and devices. The deformation mechanism of organic crystals is still controversial, which limits their development. Herein, we synthesized two types of elastic crystals (1 and 2 GC) using molecular structure regulation. In addition, we obtained the brittle crystal 2 YC by optimizing the supramolecular structures of 2 GC. The crystal structure data of all these polymorphs explain why different molecules and polymorphs exhibit different mechanical properties. Furthermore, in the application of optical waveguides and amplified spontaneous emission, they both demonstrate excellent performance, fully reflecting their elasticity and providing ideal conditions for studying the principle of flexibility.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
