Photomechanical molecular crystals and nanowire assemblies based on the [2+2] photodimerization of a phenylbutadiene derivative
Abstract
Crystalline (E)-4-fluoro-cinnamaldehyde malononitrile undergoes a [2+2] photocycloaddition, leading to a robust photomechanical response and improved force generation by nanowire ceramic composites.
