Abstract

Mechanically flexible crystals are generally obtained based on weak interactions in the aromatic systems. Here, we reported the remarkable 2D elastic bending behaviors in a nonaromatic organic molecular crystal. The strong hydrogen bonding interactions are also verified to play a crucial role in the reversible bending.
