Cover Picture: Regulating Crystal Packing by Terminal tert-Butylation for Enhanced Solid-State Emission and Efficacious Charge Transport in an Anthracene-Based Molecular Crystal (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 45/2022)
Graphical Abstract
An anthracene-based molecular crystal with a unique "slipped herringbone" packing motif was developed by crystal engineering through terminal tert-butylation. Appropriate exciton–exciton coupling/electron–phonon coupling originating from the unique crystal packing induces a remarkably strong solid-state emission and efficient charge transport, as reported by Wenping Hu et al. in their Research Article (e202206825).
