Abstract

A combined crystallographic and optical properties study offers a simple model for the dichroic behavior of crystalline azobenzene chromophores, leading to a cocrystallization strategy to manipulate their solid-state arrangement and, therewith, dichroic behavior. This supramolecular strategy represents the first entry of crystal engineering into the design of dichroism in organic crystals.
