Ferroelasticity <i>versus</i> superelasticity in molecular crystals: the role of weak switchable interaction motifs and low shear moduli
Replacing strong nitrile⋯nitrile interactions with weak C–H⋯F interactions leads to changes in the mechanical properties of molecular crystals. Superelastic crystals show higher stiffness and shear moduli than their ferroelastic analogues.
