High-quality single crystals of 9-methylanthracene exhibit more homogeneous reaction kinetics compared to polycrystalline samples, resulting in a linear expansion correlated with reaction progress. This class of solid-state phase change material shows clear linear expansion during 100% photoconversion, demonstrating potential for actuation applications.
Photomechanical molecular crystals that expand under illumination could potentially be used as photon-powered actuators. In this study, we find that the use of high-quality single crystals of 9-methylanthracene (9MA) leads to more homogeneous reaction kinetics than that previously seen for polycrystalline samples, presumably due to a lower concentration of defects. Furthermore, simultaneous observation of absorbance and shape changes in single crystals revealed that the dimensional change mirrors the reaction progress, resulting in a smooth expansion of 7% along the c-axis that is linearly correlated with reaction progress. The same expansion dynamics are highly reproducible across different single crystal samples. Organic single crystals exhibit well-defined linear expansions during 100% photoconversion, suggesting that this class of solid-state phase change material could be used for actuation.
