Abstract:We report a light‐irradiation method to control the synchronous nucleation of a donor‐acceptor (D‐A) fluorophore for growing highly uniform single‐crystalline microrods, which is in sharp contrast to the prevailing methods of inhibiting spontaneous nucleation and additionally adding seeds. The D‐A fluorophore was observed to undergo photoinduced electron transfer to CrCl3, leading to the generation of HCl and the subsequent protonation of the D‐A fluorophore. By intensifying photoirradiation or prolonging its … Show more
