Bending deformation driven by molecular rotation

In recent years, certain molecular crystals have been reported to possess surprising flexibility by undergoing significant elastic or plastic deformation in response to mechanical loads. However, despite this experimental evidence, there currently exists no atomistic mechanism to explain the physica...
