The solid-to-solid crystallization processes of organic molecules have been poorly understood in view of the complexity and the instability of organic crystals. Here, we studied the crystallization of a π-conjugated small molecular semiconductor, bis-(8-hydroxyquinoline) copper (CuQ<sub>2</sub>), by annealing the thin films at different temperatures. We observed a classical film-to-nanorods crystallization at 80 °C, a coexistence of classical and nonclassical nucleation and particle growth at 12 ...[more]
