Abstract
Organic heterostructures (OHSs) consist of organic micro/nanocrystals are of essential importance for the construction of integrated optoelectronics in the future. However, the scarcity of materials and the problem of phase separation still hinder the fine synthesis of OHSs. Herein, based on the α phase one-dimensional (1D) microrods and the β phase 2D microplates of one organic compound 3,3′-((1E,1′E)-anthracene-9,10-diylbis(ethane-2,1-diyl))dibenzonitril (m-B2BCB), we facilely synthesized the OHSs composed of these two polymorph phases, whose growth mechanism is attributed to the low lattice mismatch rate of 5.8% between (001) plane of α phase (trunk) and (010) crystal plane of β phase (branch). Significantly, the multiport in/output channels can be achieved in the OHSs, which demonstrates the structure-dependent optical signals with the different output channels in the OHSs. Therefore, our experiment exhibits the great prospect of polymorphism in OHSs, which could provide further applications on multifunctional organic integrated photonics circuits.
