Over the past decades, solid-state ordered porous materials (SSOPMs), including newly-
emerging metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs), covalent …

Conspectus Conducting a reaction in the solid state eliminates the usage of solvents. If such
reactions are conducted in a single-crystal to single-crystal (SCSC) fashion, then structural …

Although many examples of mechanically flexible crystals are currently known, their utility in
all-flexible devices is not yet adequately demonstrated, despite their immense potential for …

Molecular crystals with the ability to transform light energy into macroscopic mechanical
motions are a promising class of materials with potential applications in actuating and …

With emerging research on stimuli-responsive materials, dynamic crystals are at the forefront
of investigation. However, research on the mechanical properties of coordination polymers …

The development of multistimuli-receptive actuators demands a rational combination of
suitable functionalities. Achieving such actuating properties in a single crystalline material is …

Dynamic organic crystals are rapidly gaining traction as a new class of smart materials for
energy conversion, however, they are only capable of very small strokes (< 12%) and most …

We report that linker ligand substitution involving just one atom induces a shape‐memory
effect in a flexible coordination network. Specifically, whereas SIFSIX‐23‐Cu,[Cu (SiF6)(L) 2] …

The molecular crystals that manifest unusual mechanical properties have attracted growing
attention. Herein, we prepared an organic single crystal that shows bidirectional superelastic …

Crystals of a family of six one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers of cadmium (II) with
cyanopyridines [[CdX2L2] n, where X= Cl, Br, or I and L= 3-cyanopyridine (3-CNpy) or 4 …
