Deskripsi
Stimuli-responsive molecular organic crystals are of interest as actuating materials, but their mechanical responses are often poorly understood. Here, the authors study the photo-triggered phase transition of a chiral salicylideneamine crystal and uncover superelastic behaviour induced by light irradiation.
