In the last century, molecular crystals functioned predominantly as a means for determining
the molecular structures via X-ray diffraction, albeit as the century came to a close the …

The discovery of molecular single crystals that display interesting elastic behaviour has
generated excitement regarding their potential applications as it has upended the common …

The anticipated shift in the focal point of interest of solid-state chemists, crystal engineers,
and crystallographers from structure to properties to function parallels the need to apply our …

Flexible organic single crystals are evolving as new materials for optical waveguides that
can be used for transfer of information in organic optoelectronic microcircuits. Integration in …

Organic crystals, possessing both flexibility and stimuli-responsive properties, are attractive
candidates as smart materials, namely sensors, actuators, optoelectronic devices …

Abstract An anthracene derivative, 9, 10‐dicyanoanthracene, crystallizes as fluorescent
needle‐like single crystals that can be readily plastically bent in two directions. Spatially …

Using four different benchmark sets of molecular crystals, we establish the level of
confidence for lattice energies estimated using CE-B3LYP model energies and experimental …

Molecular martensitic materials are an emerging class of smart materials with enormous
tunability in physicochemical properties, attributed to the tailored molecular and crystal …

Organic crystals are generally brittle and tend to crack under applied stress. Doped organic
crystals are even more brittle because of lattice defects. Herein, the first doped organic …

Recently, the study of flexible (elastically bendable and plastically bendable) organic single
crystals has become a hot research field in crystal engineering. In general, crystal elasticity …
