Abstract
This review presents a critical and comprehensive overview of current experimental measurements of complete elastic constant tensors for molecular crystals. For a large fraction of these molecular crystals, detailed comparisons are made with elastic tensors obtained using the corrected small basis set Hartree-Fock method S-HF-3c, and these are shown to be competitive with many of those obtained from more sophisticated density functional theory plus dispersion (DFT-D) approaches. These detailed comparisons between S-HF-3c, experimental and DFT-D computed tensors make use of a novel rotation-invariant spherical harmonic description of the Young's modulus, and identify outliers among sets of independent experimental results. The result is a curated database of experimental elastic tensors for molecular crystals, which we hope will stimulate more extensive use of elastic tensor information-experimental and computational-in studies aimed at correlating mechanical properties of molecular crystals with their underlying crystal structure.

Abstract
Electronic microdevices of self-bending coronene crystals are developed to reveal an unexplored link between mechanical deformation and crystal function. First, a facile approach towards length/width/curvature-controllable micro-crystals through bottom-up solution crystallization was proposed for high processability and stability. The bending crystal devices show a significant increase beyond seven orders of magnitude in conductivity than the straight ones, providing the first example of deformation-induced function enhancement in crystal materials. Besides, double effects caused by bending, including the change of π electron level as well as the enhancement of carrier mobility, were determined, respectively by the X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography to coexist, contributing to the conductivity improvement. Our findings will promote future creation of flexible organic crystal systems with deformation-enhanced functional features towards customized smart devices.

Abstract
Molecular crystals of π-conjugated molecules are of great interest as the highly ordered dense packing offers superior charge and exciton transport compared with its amorphous counterparts. However, integration into optoelectronic devices remains a major challenge owing to its inherently brittle nature. Herein, control over the mechanical conformity in single crystals of pyridine-appended thiazolothiazole derivatives is reported by modulating the molecular packing through interaction engineering. Two polymorphs were prepared by achieving control over the thermodynamic/kinetic factors of crystallization; one of the polymorphs exhibits elastic bending whereas the other is brittle. The control over the bending ability was achieved by forming co-crystals with hydrogen/halogen bond donors. A seamless extended crisscross pattern with respect to the bend plane through a ditopic hydrogen-bonding motif showed the highest compliance towards mechanical bending, whereas the co-crystals with a layered crisscross arrangement with segregated layers of co-formers exhibit slightly lower bending conformity. These results update the rationale behind the plastic/elastic bending in molecular crystals. The co-crystals of ditopic halogen bond co-assemblies are particularly appealing for waveguiding applications as the co-crystals blend high mechanical flexibility and luminescence properties. The hydrogen bonded co-crystals are non-emissive in nature owing to excited state proton transfer dynamics. The rationale behind the fluorescence properties of these materials was also established from DFT calculations in a quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) framework.

Abstract
The design of molecular compounds that exhibit flexibility is an emerging area of research. Although a fair amount of success has been achieved in the design of plastic or elastic crystals, realizing multidimensional plastic and elastic bending remains challenging. We report herein a naphthalidenimine-boron complex that showed size-dependent dual mechanical bending behavior whereas its parent Schiff base was brittle. Detailed crystallographic and spectroscopic analysis revealed the importance of boron in imparting the interesting mechanical properties. Furthermore, the luminescence of the molecule was turned-on subsequent to boron complexation, thereby allowing it to be explored for multimode optical waveguide applications. Our in-depth study of the size-dependent plastic and elastic bending of the crystals thus provides important insights in molecular engineering and could act as a platform for the development of future smart flexible materials for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Single crystals of optoelectronic materials that respond to external stimuli, such as mechanical, light, or heat, are immensely attractive for next generation smart materials. Here we report single crystals of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore analogue with irreversible mechanical bending and associated unusual enhancement of the fluorescence, which is attributed to the strained molecular packing in the perturbed region. Soft crystalline materials with such fluorescence intensity modulations occurring in response to mechanical stimuli under ambient pressure conditions will have potential implications for the design of technologically relevant tunable fluorescent materials.

Abstract
The investigation of mechanical properties in molecular crystals is emerging as a novel area of interest in crystal engineering. Indeed, good mechanical properties are required to manufacture pharmaceutical and technologically relevant substances into usable products. In such endeavour, bendable single crystals help to correlate microscopic structure to macroscopic properties for potential design. The hydrate forms of two anticonvulsant zwitterionic drugs, Pregabalin and Gabapentin, are two examples of crystalline materials that show macroscopic plasticity. The direct comparison of these structures with those of their anhydrous counterparts, which are brittle, suggests that the presence of water is critical for plasticity. In contrast, structural features such as molecular packing and anisotropic distribution of strong and weak interactions seem less important.

Abstract
The mention of the word "crystal" invokes images of minerals, gems, and rocks, all of which are inevitably solid, hard, and durable entities with well-defined smooth faces and straight edges. With the discovery in the first half of the 20th century that many molecular crystals are soft and can be deformed in a similar way as rubber or plastic, this perception is changing, and both the concept and formal definition of what a crystal is may require reinterpretation. The seemingly naïve question posed in the title of this Minireview does not have a simple answer. Here, we discuss how the effects of the elastic and plastic deformation of molecular crystals on the diffraction signature give primary evidence of their degree of crystallinity. In most cases, the definition of a crystal holds for both elastically and plastically deformed crystals and, unless there is significant or complete physical separation of the crystal during the deformation, they can safely be considered (deformed) single crystals with a high concentration of defects.

Abstract
Crystalline coordination polymers tend to be brittle and inelastic, however, we now describe a family of such compounds that are capable of displaying mechanical elasticity in response to external pressure. The design approach successfully targets structural features that are critical for producing the desired mechanical output. The elastic crystals all comprise 1D cadmium(II) halide polymeric chains with adjacent metal centres bridged by two halide ions resulting in the required stacking interactions and short "4 Å" crystallographic axes. These polymeric chains (structural "spines") are further organized via hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds perpendicular to the direction of the chains. By carefully altering the strength and the geometry of these non-covalent interactions, we have demonstrated that it is possible to control the extent of elastic bending in crystalline coordination compounds.

Abstract
Elastically flexible crystals form an emerging class of materials that exhibit a range of notable properties. The mechanism of thermal expansion in flexible crystals of bis(acetylacetonato)copper(II) is compared with the mechanism of molecular motion induced by bending and it is demonstrated that the two mechanisms are distinct. Upon bending, individual molecules within the crystal structure reversibly rotate, while thermal expansion results predominantly in an increase in intermolecular separations with only minor changes to molecular orientation through rotation.
