Luminescent Möbius Strip of a Flexible Halogen-Bonded Cocrystal Evolved from Ring and Helix

Abstract
Luminescent Möbius strip microstructures have been created for the first time based on flexible organic single crystals via a template-free solution self-assembly. We herein demonstrated a rationally designed morphological evolution toward Möbius strips from rings and helixes. Our findings lay the foundation for the future construction of complex matters with predetermined morphologies and functions from crystal systems.
