Molecular photoactuators can control shape and chemical or physical properties of the
responsive system they are embedded in. These effects are usually mediated by …

Dynamic crystalline materials have emerged as a unique category of condensed phase
matter that combines crystalline lattice with components that display dynamic behavior in the …

Dynamic processes are responsible for the functionality of a range of materials,
biomolecules, and catalysts. We report a detailed systematic study of the modulation of …

Triptycene derivatives, a type of specific aromatic compound, have been attracting much
attention in many research areas. Over the past several years, triptycene and its derivatives …

Abstract Fluorinated Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOFs), comprising a wheel‐shaped ligand
with geminal rotating fluorine atoms, produced benchmark mobility of correlated dipolar …

This review highlights the major efforts devoted to the development of molecular gears over
the past 40 years, from pioneering covalent bis‐triptycyl systems undergoing intramolecular …

The ability of molecules to move and rearrange in the solid state accounts for the
polymorphic transition and stimuli-responsive properties of molecular crystals. However …

One of the major challenges for harnessing the true potential of functional nano-machinery
is integrating and transmitting motion with great precision. Molecular gearing systems …

Molecular motion in the solid state is typically precluded by the highly dense environment,
and only molecules with a limited range of sizes show such dynamics. Here, we …

Functional dynamic molecular crystals have drawn increasing interest in exploring next-
generation flexible and smart materials. Molecular rotors, as a typical type of dynamic …
