Effects of Gamma Radiation on Single- and Multicomponent Organic Crystalline Materials.

ABSTRACT: Exploration of highly ionizing radiation damage to organic materials has mainly been limited to polymers and single-component organic crystals due to their use in coatings and scintillation detection. Additional efforts are needed to create new tunable organic systems with stability in highly ionizing radiation to rationally design novel materials with controllable chemical and physical properties. Cocrystals are a promising class of compounds in this area because of the ability to rationally design bonding and molecular interactions that could lead to novel material properties. However, currently it is unclear if cocrystals exposed to radiation will maintain crystallinity, stability, and physical properties. Herein, we report the effects of γ radiation on both single-component- and multic
