Abstract Developing high‐performance polarization‐sensitive ultraviolet photodetectors is crucial for their application in military remote sensing, detection, bio‐inspired navigation, and machine vision. However, the significant absorption visible light range severely limits of photodetectors, such as high‐quality anti‐interference imaging. Here, based on a wide‐bandgap organic semiconductor single crystal (trans‐1,2‐bis(5‐phenyldithieno[2,3‐b:3′,2′‐d]thiophen‐2‐yl)ethene, BPTTE), solar‐blind with dichroic ratio close to 4.26 are demonstrated. The strong anisotropy 2D grown BPTTE crystals molecular vibration optical characterized by various techniques. Under voltage modulation, stable efficient detection polarized demonstrated, attributed intrinsic transition dipole moment bc plane, rather than other factors. Finally, high‐contrast polarimetric imaging successfully demonstrated highlighting potential semiconductors photodetectors.

Here, a barbituric acid derivative containing pyrene rings (DPPT) was successfully synthesized, and two types of crystals were prepared by using crystal engineering methods. Orange sheet-like (DPPT-O, observed in visible light), DCM/CH3OH solution, exhibited brittleness weak fluorescence emission, along with sunlight-induced bending fracturing. Red needle-like (DPPT-R, also synthesized DCM/CH3CN demonstrated elastic properties, strong excellent optical waveguide performance (with an loss coefficient 0.23-0.30 dB mm-1). Single-crystal data analysis revealed that the stacking arrangement molecules critically influenced elasticity crystals, while reaction cavity size regulated photomechanical properties crystals.

The development of camouflage materials that are adapted to various environmental conditions and actively switch can greatly improve stealth reliability. However, the with stimulus-responsive structural colors in conjunction electro-optical properties liquid crystal ability their optical under remains a major challenge. Here, breakthrough bilayer polymer dispersed (PDLC) system integrated electron-transferring organic compound microcapsules (ETOCM) was presented achieve multimodal adaptation through synergistic electrical/thermal triggering. hybrid were able between different colors, transparency, scattering states, maintained high contrast at lower driving voltages. Among which, PDLC doped ETOCM is used for thermally triggering color shift without leaking dye; UV intensity controlled by zonal polymerization process produce localized pattern permits stepwise electric-field-driven decryption. In flexible dual-layer design PVA separator layer, areas exceeds 100 easily visible naked eye. Unlike previous static or single-stimulus systems, material dynamically adapt environments. By coordinating thermochromic electro-optic mechanisms, fast multiresponse dual encryption (thermal/electric field) achieved. This work bridges gap adaptive real-world applications, offering transformative potential information security wearable technology.

Abstract Thermally responsive molecular crystals exhibiting programmable mechanical motions hold significant promise for applications in smart actuators, sensors, and drug delivery systems. However, achieving precise control over their phase transition thermodynamics remains a fundamental challenge. A series of isomorphic 5‐fluorocytosine/fatty acid cocrystals is reported where the temperatures vary across an interval 100 K with increasing alkyl chain. Two distinct pathways are unveiled: i) cooperative single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal (II‐III) accompanied by explosive motions, ii) reconstructive (I‐III) following classical nucleation‐growth mechanisms. The induces remarkable expansion, striking +64.4% expansion along layer stacking direction −16.9% contraction perpendicular to (001) plane, leading dynamic phenomena such as jumping, rotating, splitting. Notably, ( T t, II‐III ) exhibit linear dependence on coformer chain length (from C10 C18), correlation attributed interlayer hydrophobic interactions. This work provides versatile approach designing tunable thermo‐mechanical properties, offering new opportunities advanced functional materials.

Dynamic molecular crystals with a desirable morphology and controllable responses to external stimuli are highly desired but remain challenging. Here, we present new photoactive crystal (MCA) featuring naphthalene backbone linked vinyl structure an asymmetric tail. It can undergo reversible head-to-tail [2 + 2] photodimerization under visible light illumination heating. Helicoidally twisted crystalline fibers be easily prepared by drop-casting MCA ethanol solution onto glass surface. The thread length fiber width regulated changing the solvent evaporation temperature. An untwists upon irradiation twists back mild heating due dissociation of metastable photodimer (d-MCA), enabling reverse transformation. Crystallinity overall helical reserved well during untwisting twisting cycles, allowing multiple repetitions dynamic motions. Under interval excitation continuous heating, perform cyclical untwisting-twisting motions over 200 times for 5 h. amount significantly affects photoresponse, resulting in fully partial twisting, or complete at different dimer fractions. We found that about 10% d-MCA is enough drive circular movements. Higher photoproduct conversion makes prone fatigue lose cyclic responses.
