“…[4] However,t here are long-standing critical problems in this research field. [5,36] There are some excellent reviews about organic D-A complexes for novel organic electronics [37] and techniques/ methods of the preparation and characterization of organic cocrystals,a sw ell as some applications of cocrystals before 2016, [38a] thus in this Minireview,w eo nly make ab rief summary focusing on recent development and applications (except electrical conductivities and field-effect transistors (FETs)) of organic cocrystals including reducing the ACQ effect, tuning light emission, ferroelectricity and multiferroics, optical waveguides,a nd stimuli-responsiveness.W ea lso provide ad iscussion on current achievements,l imitations and perspectives.F inally,w et ry to aim at providing some useful instructions for further investigation of organic cocrystals. Secondly,t he relationships between crystal structures and the resulting performance,between the charge-transfer degree within cocrystals and the lattice stability, [33] optoelectronic,and photophysical properties, [34,35] as well as the mechanism of electronic interaction between building blocks remain elusive, [5] all of which greatly impedes regulating the properties of the cocrystals.T he effective tuning of cocrystals properties to give the desired functions by designing and controlling the stoichiometric ratio,m olecular stacking mode,o rientation, crystal phase and morphology is still at an early stage and remains achallenge.…”
