Crystalline conjugated organic electronic materials are emerging as a new frontier in the design of electronic and photonic devices. While traditional organic electronic devices typically rely on disordered films, the development of highly ordered crystalline materials and epitaxial interfaces offers a pathway to improved charge transport, excitonic behavior, photonics, and stability. This symposium will explore advances in theory, molecular design, interface engineering, and fabrication techniques that form the basis for crystalline organic semiconductors for applications in transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, catalysis, and integrated photonics. Emphasizing both experimental and computational approaches, discussions will highlight the role of molecular packing, epitaxy, and predictive modeling in tailoring material properties for next- generation organic electronic and photonic technologies.
