In this paper, two cocrystals 1 and 2 with the same chemical composition [L1.L2 ] (L1 = bis(4΄-pyridyl)-TTF, L2 =
4,4΄-diiodophenyl)
were synthesized by slow diffusion with different solvent systems. Cocrystals 1 and 2 were
characterized by single-crystal X-ray and the purity of these two cocrystals was
confirmed by PXRD data. The photocurrent responses of these two cocrystals were
also tested. Only cocrystal 1 could
generate photocurrent signal when exposed to light. From the crystal structure
analysis, the possible reason may come from the different biphenyl conformations in L2.
