The preparation of co-crystals via mechanochemistry combines the quest for clean and
green processes with the investigation of multicomponent new materials, among the …

Halogen bonding (XB), an attractive and valuable noncovalent interaction, has recently
been exploited as an important tool in crystal engineering. The recent upsurge in crystal …

The intermolecular interactions and structural features in crystals of seven halogenated N‐
benzylideneanilines (Schiff bases), all of which exhibit remarkable flexibility, were examined …

Nanoindentation is a technique for measuring the elastic modulus and hardness of small
amounts of materials. This method, which has been used extensively for characterizing …

The molecular‐level motions of a coronene‐based supramolecular rotator are amplified into
macroscopic changes of crystals by co‐assembly of coronene and TCNB (1, 2, 4, 5 …

The nature of intermolecular interactions between halogen atoms, X⋅⋅⋅ X (X= Cl, Br, I),
continues to be of topical interest because these interactions may be used as design …

The mechanical adaptiveness of long-range ordered molecular crystals has long been
ignored due to their brittle nature, unlike polymers and flexible biomaterials. However, the …

We present an overview of very recent advances in the understanding of structure–
mechanical property correlations in molecular crystals. After the introductory part on some …

Structural changes are accompanied by the movements of atoms/molecules and hence
transformation of one structure to another is difficult in the solid state due to the restricted …

Ball milling has been applied in numerous solvent‐free carbon‐carbon bond formations. In
many cases, these transformations proved superior to the analogous reactions performed in …
