Abstract Crystalline coordination polymers tend to be brittle and inelastic, however, we now describe a family of such compounds that are capable displaying mechanical elasticity in response external pressure. The design approach successfully targets structural features critical for producing the desired output. elastic crystals all comprise 1D cadmium(II) halide polymeric chains with adjacent metal centres bridged by two ions resulting required stacking interactions short “4 Å”...
The mechanical adaptability of a family six one-dimensional crystalline coordination polymers (CPs) cadmium ([CdX2(3-X′py)2]n; 1: X = Br, X′ Cl, 2: I, 3: 4: 5: and 6: X, I) to applied external force was examined, plethora flexible responses noticed. While two the CPs (4 6) were slightly elastic, remaining four (1–3 5) presented variable plastic deformation; three these (1–3) displayed exceptional crystal flow, one (2) demonstrated unprecedented ductility metal–organic material. feature...
