Summary:Organic homostructures with tunable physiochemical properties were fabricated by simply changing the isomer molecules via the "cocrystal engineering" approach. The morphology of the cocrystals can be changed into rod-like or branched, with superior waveguide and multi-directional waveguide performance, respectively, which contributes to the realization of optical waveguide modules with integrated functions. We modulated the optical properties of cocrystals without changing the unit cell parameters and crystal morphology by simply changing the relative position of the cyan group on the electron acceptor molecule.
