Organic cocrystals are crystalline, single-phase materials composed of two or more molecular and/or ionic compounds, generally, in a stoichiometric ratio. A feature of organic cocrystals is that special optoelectronic properties such as ferroelectricity are easy to realize in these materials. In this perspective, we systematically introduce the recent research advances in organic cocrystal ferroelectrics, and we study in depth the molecular structure and self-assembling behaviors of cocrystals for ferroelectric applications. Finally, combined with an understanding of recent progress and achievements in this field, we discuss the challenges and opportunities for ferroelectric materials based on organic cocrystals, as well as the promising applications of these materials.Keywords: organic cocrystal, hydrogen bonding, charge transfer, ferroelectric An organic cocrystal is a stoichiometric, multi-component molecular crystal wherein the different components are assembled by heteromolecular interactions (Fig. 1a), such as hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds, charge transfer (CT), and π-π interactions [1]. In cocrystalline systems, the supramolecular synthon [2], a fundamental concept of crystal engineering, plays an important role. Synthons are reliable patterns of intermolecular interactions that can be used to generate supramolecular functional materials. The first cocrystal was reported by Wöhler [3] in 1844 during his studies on quinone. He mixed solutions of quinone (colorless) and hydroquinone (yellow) and found that a crystalline substance formed. Wöhler called this crystalline material green hydroquinone. Following this first publication, Ling and Baker reported several related cocrystals composed of halogenated quinones and green hydroquinone, also referred to as quinhydrone [4]. In 1958, the first crystal structure of a monoclinic quinhydrone crystal was reported [5]. The crystal structure showed that the quinone and hydroquinone molecules formed alternating zigzag chains connected by O-H···O hydrogen bonds. Another crystal engineering strategy relies on the use of electronic donor (D) and acceptor (A) building blocks. This process has gained considerable interest because large molecules can be utilized and the resultant DA cocrystals are stable. Moreover, these types of cocrystal have the potential to be used for the fabrication of promising next generation materials with applications in innovative electronic and photonic devices [6]. CT interactions mainly refer to weak, non-covalent attractive forces that arise between electron-rich donors and electron-deficient acceptors, forming so-called D-A complexes. However, these CT cocrystals have been investigated to a lesser degree than cocrystals held together by hydrogen bonds.The properties of cocrystals are not thoroughly investigated in terms of their technological applications, especially concerning optical nonlinearity, (semi)conductivity, ferroelectricity, and magnetism [7]. In the last decade, multifunctional organic materials have emerged as high-d...
