From Simplicity to Complexity: Substituent-Controlled Z' Multiplicity as a Design Principle for Thermally Robust Yet Programmable Anisotropic Expansion.

Anisotropic thermal expansion in molecular crystals has predominantly been reported for low-Z' systems (Z' ≤ 2), in which only a few independent molecules occupy the asymmetric unit. In such crystals, thermal expansion is often interpreted using simplified models based on rigid molecular motion or averaged intermolecul...
