Molecule-based micro-/nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention because their properties can vary greatly from the corresponding macro-sized bulk systems. Recently, the construction of multicomponent molecular solids based on crystal engineering principles has emerged as a promising alternative way to develop micro-/nanomaterials. Unlike single-component materials, the resulting multicomponent systems offer the advantages of tunable composition, and adjustable molecular arrangement, and intermolecular interactions within their solid states. The study of these materials also supplies insight into how the crystal structure, molecular components, and micro-/nanoscale effects can influence the performance of molecular materials. In this review, we describe recent advances and current directions in the assembly and applications of crystalline multicomponent micro-/nanostructures. Firstly, the design strategies for multicomponent systems based on molecular recognition and crystal engineering principles are introduced. Attention is then focused on the methods of fabrication of low-dimensional multicomponent micro-/nanostructures. Their new applications are also outlined. Finally, we briefly discuss perspectives for the further development of these molecular crystalline micro-/nanomaterials.
基于分子的微/纳米材料因其性质与相应的宏观块状体系有很大差异而备受关注。近年来，基于晶体工程原理构建多组分分子固体已成为开发微/纳米材料的一种有前途的替代方法。与单组分材料不同，所得的多组分体系具有组成可调、分子排列可调和固态分子间相互作用等优点。对这些材料的研究还为深入了解晶体结构、分子组分以及微/纳米尺度效应如何影响分子材料的性能提供了思路。在本综述中，我们描述了结晶多组分微/纳米结构组装和应用的最新进展及当前方向。首先，介绍了基于分子识别和晶体工程原理的多组分体系设计策略。然后重点关注低维多组分微/纳米结构的制备方法。还概述了它们的新应用。最后，我们简要讨论了这些分子晶体微/纳米材料进一步发展的前景。
