Abstract
In present day, nonfullerene acceptors play a significant role in the fabrication of various energy devices, with their optoelectronic properties being highly dependent on the molecular arrangements at nano- and microscales. In this work, we report on the fabrication of novel (single) crystals of Y6 and Y12 nonfullerene acceptors by exposing the latter to generous amounts of solvent vapors, which in turn favors nucleation and growth of crystals at various, yet highly controlled solvent evaporation rates. Fabricated crystals display various shapes and sizes, exhibit puzzling absorbance properties, and could potentially be employed in the field of optoelectronic devices, including organic field-effect transistors.
期刊介绍：
The aim of Crystal Growth & Design is to stimulate crossfertilization of knowledge among scientists and engineers working in the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, and the industrial application of crystalline materials.
Crystal Growth & Design publishes theoretical and experimental studies of the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena and processes related to the design, growth, and application of crystalline materials. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies and integrating the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, intermolecular interactions, and industrial application are encouraged.
