H···X Hydrogen Bonds Govern Chain Geometry, Thermal Expansion, and Phase Behavior in Crown-Ether-Based Lead Halide Hybrids
polyhedra and their assembly into one-dimensional inorganic chains. Consequently, the materials exhibit distinct phase-transition behaviors and pronounced anisotropic thermal expansion, including negative and near-zero thermal expansion along the chain direction. These results establish hydrogen-bond-network engineering as a general strategy for programming structural responses and thermal properties in flexible hybrid materials.
