Charge transfer co-crystals based on donor–acceptor interactions for near-infrared photothermal conversion†
Abstract
A co-crystal was obtained based on donor–acceptor interactions. The obvious charge transfer from the linear donor to the triangular acceptor units results in a quasi-two-dimensional CT complex with excellent near-infrared photothermal conversion efficiency. The co-crystals further acted as an excellent photothermal material in seawater desalination.
