This overview provides insights into recent advances in mechanically flexible molecular crystals, highlighting the importance of tuning mechanical properties through crystal engineering and the systematic placement of different molecular crystals in the elastic-plastic spectrum based on understanding of intermolecular interactions. It emphasizes the potential and challenges in predicting/designing mechanically compliant crystalline compounds.
This highlight gives an overview of recent advances in mechanically flexible molecular crystals, with qualitative and quantitative studies performed on different molecular systems. The diverse methods for the tuning of mechanical properties via crystal engineering have gained immense attention in the field of materials science. Such studies render support in establishing the structure to properties to function parallels. The understanding of intermolecular interactions helps in a systematic placement of different molecular crystals in the elastic-plastic spectrum. This overview helps in emphasizing the potential as well as challenges faced in predicting/designing mechanically compliant crystalline compounds.
