Chiral Crystals of an Achiral Molecule Exhibit Plastic Bending and a Crystal-to-Crystal Phase Transition
The achiral molecule 2-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (Me2pmCN) meets simple criteria that predict a supramolecular arrangement capable of exhibiting plastic bending. Indeed, crystals grown by sublimation bend readily without breaking under manua
