“…15 Our own recent findings in this area revealed the anisotropy of hardness and plasticity of the layer surface for the laminar structure {[CoIJAc) 2 IJbpe)IJH 2 O)]Ĵ0.5IJdmf)} n , where Ac = acetate, bpe = 4,4′-bipyridine ethane, dmf = N,N′dimethylformamide. 16 For organic crystals on the other hand, the recent reports revealed the different mechanical properties for the polymorphs of sulfathiazole and curcumin, 17 the impact of weak interactions on mechanical properties of caffeine cocrystals, 18 and the deteriorated plasticity of piroxicam-saccharin cocrystals as a function of crystal packing. 19 The mechanically induced molecular migrations reported for the layered homomolecular (thiohydantoin) 20 and heteromolecular (TCNB:pyrene) solids were explained in terms of mobility of the weakly bound arrays, and the nanoindentation technique was suggested as an effective tool to study layered crystal packing.…”
