Nice start of the year with this scientific commentary on a beautiful work from Zwolenik and Makal. Molecular and lattice dynamics are fundamental to understand organic crystal properties! Now out in @IUCrJ! #OA @UNIMORE_univ #crystals #crystalchemistry

@Ella_Maru @RugGroup @J_A_C_S @NaumovGroup @URochesterChem Hi Ella, thanks! The short answer is that there are specific vibrations that act as sort of "gateway" for the transition, mapping out the trajectory of the structural transformation. The long answer can be found here 😁:

Third: Science is always cooler when you do it with your friends! Just to cite a few of them on X @DP20907127 @MarcoSaccone10 @RugGroup @Pance_Naumov without forgetting the rest of the gang! It has been a long and fun ride!

First, the Science: For the first time we have developed a robust design of polymorphic organic crystals undergoing cooperative phase transitions associated with macroscopic dynamics (jumping, shapeshifting) thanks to molecular and lattice dynamics engineering.
