Negative thermal expansion (NTE), referring to the lattice contraction upon heating, has
been an attractive topic of solid-state chemistry and functional materials. The response of a …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is a counterintuitive physical phenomenon that the unit
cell volume of material usually contracts instead of expands upon heating. With two …

Recent years have seen a large increase of the research effort focused on framework
materials, including the nowadays-ubiquitous metal–organic frameworks but also dense …

Abstract Framework flexibility is one of the most important characteristics of metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs), which is not only interesting, but also useful for a variety of applications …

X-Ray single-crystal diffraction has been the most straightforward and important technique in
structural determination of crystalline materials for understanding their structure–property …

Most materials expand upon heating. However, although rare, some materials contract upon
heating. Such negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have enormous industrial merit …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is the phenomenon in which materials shrink rather than
expand on heating. Although NTE had been previously observed in a few simple materials …

The field of coordination polymer research has undergone rapid expansion in recent years.
No longer are these materials the vaguely defined'insoluble material'at the bottom of your …

To meet strong demands for the control of thermal expansion necessary because of the
advanced development of industrial technology, widely various giant negative thermal …

Scandium trifluoride maintains a cubic ReO3 type structure down to at least 10 K, although
the pressure at which its cubic to rhombohedral phase transition occurs drops from> 0.5 GPa …
