Abstract

Crystal engineering has served as a powerful strategy to grow organic molecular crystals with different physical behaviors and this strategy has been also attempted for a purpose to grow crystals with desired mechanical properties; however, it is quite challenging to endow all different crystal phases constructed by the same compound with unique reversible deformation, such as elastic bending. We herein report a rare example of all-polymorph elastic crystals accompanied by precisely tunable emission colors. Single-crystal structure analyses and their optical and mechanical properties have been fully investigated on all polymorphs. The color-tunable amplified spontaneous emissions of both the straight and elastically bent polymorphs demonstrate the applicability of these elastic polymorphs in future wearable optoelectronic devices.

Key words

organic polymorphs - crystal structures - elastic deformation - mechanical properties - amplified spontaneous emission

  • 41 The crystal was irradiated by the third harmonic (355 nm) of a Nd : YAG laser at a repetition rate of 10 Hz and a pulse duration of about 10 ns. The energy of the pumping laser was adjusted by using the calibrated neutral density filters. The beam was focused into a stripe whose shape was adjusted to 3.3 × 0.6 mm2 by using a cylindrical lens and a slit. The edge emission and PL spectra of the crystals were detected using a Maya2000 Pro CCD spectrometer.
