	Molecular crystals that respond to multiple stimuli are gaining significant attention for their potential in smart materials like actuators and sensors. However, imparting multiple stimuli-responsive properties to a single crystal remains a major challenge. Herein, we report two cyanostilbene derivative-based crystals 1 and 2, with various responses to stimuli such as mechanical stress, light, acid vapors, etc. Both crystals 1 and 2 demonstrated mechanical flexibility and reversible acidochromism. Additionally, crystal 1 also exhibited light-induced photobending, which is ascribed to Z to E photoisomerization. Detailed structure-property correlation was established to unravel distinct mechanical responses. The development of these multitasking crystals may find applications in multitasking actuators, anticounterfeiting materials, and more.&lt;/p&gt;

	We report the first two-dimensionally (2D) elastically bendable and twistable pharmaceutical-solvate crystal, indomethacin methanol. Its flexibility is due to interlocked packing and a structural buffer acting like isotropic interactions. For the first time, we utilized Raman spectroscopy on the two elastic faces of a bent crystal region, revealing the inhomogeneous molecular distribution in the crystal structure during bending and validating the mechanistic model of the 2D elastic crystal. We present the first 2D elastic pharmaceutical-solvate crystal and utilized Raman spectroscopy to reveal inhomogeneous lattice distribution during bending.&lt;/p&gt;

	Cocrystallization offers a versatile approach to modulate the physicochemical including mechanical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In this study, we employ crystal engineering principles to design cocrystals of two structurally similar methylxanthine compounds-caffeine (CAF) and theophylline (THP)-with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (DNBA) as coformers. The resulting cocrystals and cocrystal polymorphs displayed diverse architectures-2D layers, corrugated sheets, and 3D interlocked structures-showing distinct deformation characteristics. Particular attention was given to the mechanical shearing of the layered structure cocrystals THP-DNBA and CAF-DNBA-I, which are critical for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes such as tablet compaction. The sheared fragmented crystal of THP-DNBA also shows plastic bending deformation. On the other hand, the CAF-DNSA, CAF-DNBA-II, and THP-DNSA cocrystals are brittle due to the absence of a flat layer structure. Our findings reveal that structural features such as flat molecular geometry, pi-stacking, and weak interlayer interactions play crucial roles in promoting plastic deformation via shearing and plastic bending. Nanoindentation studies have been performed on the major faces of all the cocrystals to quantify their mechanical properties. Notably, the CAF-DNBA-I cocrystal also exhibited piezoelectric properties. This work provides valuable insights into the structure-mechanical property relationship in pharmaceutical cocrystals and underscores the potential of cocrystallization in addressing formulation-related challenges.&lt;/p&gt;

	Crystalline materials capable of responding to multiple external stimuli have garnered considerable attention in recent years due to their promising potential for various applications in smart materials, sensing, and actuation. In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of two developed linker-based Schiff base molecular crystals, designated as 1 and 2, both of which exhibit two distinct reversible stimuli-responsive behaviors: (i) a thermal expansion-contraction response during repeated heating and cooling cycles and (ii) a reversible acidochromic color change upon sequential exposure to acidic and basic vapors. Importantly, these two reversible responses are governed by entirely distinct underlying processes. The thermal expansion-contraction behavior is driven by a martensitic phase transition, from a low-temperature phase to a high-temperature phase, which involves rapid and reversible lattice displacive rearrangements. In contrast, the acidochromic color change arises from a disruption in the electronic conjugation within the molecular framework, where the system undergoes a transformation from an A-pi-D-pi-A (acceptor-pi-donor-pi-acceptor) configuration to an A-pi-A-pi-A (acceptor-pi-acceptor-pi-acceptor) configuration upon protonation, manifested by a distinct shift in optical absorption properties. The unique combination of these two reversible phenomena-thermal expansion-contraction and acidochromic responses-within a single material system offers significant potential for advanced applications, particularly in the development of acid-sensitive sensors and thermally responsive microactuators.&lt;/p&gt;

	Molecular crystals that respond to multiple external stimuli are of great interest in smart, responsive materials in various fields. However, the integration of multiple responsive properties within the same crystal still remains a significant challenge for materials scientists due to the complex structural and electronic interactions. Previous studies on benzylidene indanone-based molecular crystals have shown only mechanical plasticity; however, we design crystals to elicit diverse responses to external stimuli, including mechanical stress, light, and acid vapor. Herein, we report two benzylidene indanone derivative-based crystals 1 and 2. Crystal 1 is mechanically brittle and exhibits light-induced photosalient splitting and jumping, attributed to [2 + 2] cycloaddition facilitated by the presence of a vinyl moiety. On the other hand, crystal 2 demonstrates anisotropic mechanical flexibility, exhibiting elasticity on one face and plasticity on alternate faces. Furthermore, crystals 1 and 2 both display reversible acidochromism in response to acid vapor. A detailed structure-property correlation has been established to elucidate the distinct mechanical responses of these molecular crystals. The development of such multistimuli-responsive smart materials holds significant potential for applications in flexible acid sensors, multifunctional responsive smart devices, and actuators, paving the way for advanced smart or intelligent molecular materials with tunable mechanical and optical properties.&lt;/p&gt;

	A photo-responsive bi-component solid is designed based on robust large synthons. The study not only provides a template-based approach for a system that was difficult to photo-dimerize, but the designed solid also leads to photo-induced cracking upon photodimerization. The delicate structural design helps in capturing the structural intermediates, which reveals a possible reorientation of the photodimer within the crystal to maintain structural integrity.&lt;/p&gt;

	A pyrene-substituted acylhydrazone (PyAc) crystal undergoes a water-driven transition from elasticity to thermoplastic bending. The hydrated crystal remains two-dimensional (2D) elastic until heating, after which it becomes brittle and bent upon dehydration. While the hydrated crystal is non-photoresponsive, the anhydrous form exhibits photomechanical bending due to favorable E-Z photoisomerization. These distinct properties, governed by solvent channels, molecular packing, and non-covalent interactions, demonstrate PyAc's potential for smart actuators and photoswitchable devices.&lt;/p&gt;

	Understanding crystal nucleation in solution remains one of the central challenges in crystallization science, particularly in pharmaceutical systems where polymorphism plays a critical role in determining drug properties. In this study, we present a dynamic light scattering (DLS)-based approach to track nucleation pathways of pyrazinamide (PYZ), a frontline antituberculosis drug known to crystallize in multiple polymorphic forms. Five solvents, ethanol (EtOH), methanol (MeOH), tetrahydrofuran (THF), water (H2O), and acetone, were investigated across three solute concentrations. In contrast to earlier DLS-based studies that primarily emphasize particle size evolution, the present work correlates early-stage DLS signatures with solvent- and concentration-dependent polymorphic outcomes across multiple solvent systems. In EtOH, distinct concentration-dependent nucleation signatures corresponded to the gamma-, alpha-, and delta-forms, whereas MeOH and THF exhibited alpha- and delta-forms with differing degrees of competition between phases. In contrast, H2O and acetone consistently produced a single stable polymorph (alpha- and delta-form, respectively), independent of concentration. DLS measurements provided valuable insight into particle size evolution, capturing nucleation events, growth dynamics, and polymorphic selection across solvent systems. Additionally, this work highlights the capability of DLS to differentiate competitive and non-competitive nucleation environments through size distribution behavior, a feature not extensively reported for pharmaceutical systems. Complementary induction time experiments were also conducted to quantitatively assess solvent-dependent nucleation kinetics. The analysis revealed substantial variations in nucleation rates and interfacial energies across the five solvents, providing independent kinetic validation of the trends observed in the DLS measurements. It also represents a significant advancement by enabling both nucleation pathway tracking and induction time analysis within a unified experimental framework by single instrument, providing direct insight into nucleation kinetics. This combined experimental strategy highlights the potential of DLS as a sensitive and non-invasive method to probe nucleation pathways in solution and demonstrates its utility in correlating concentration, solvent environment, and polymorphic outcomes. Beyond advancing the fundamental understanding of nucleation, this approach offers practical promise for monitoring the design of crystallization processes in pharmaceutical and materials science applications.&lt;/p&gt;

	Cimetidine, a popular histamine H2-receptor antagonist, represents a complex structural landscape exhibiting multiple forms. Attempts to synthesize a bicomponent salt with fumaric acid suffered from crystallization challenges in the past, especially toward the growth of anhydrous single crystals. In this work, we address these crystallization challenges by adopting an alternative crystallization approach involving ionic liquids and analyzing the structural landscape with a large synthon-based approach. Two novel forms of cimetidine fumarate were isolated. The structural differences in the forms of cimetidine fumarate were further explored by using different coformers as structural probes.&lt;/p&gt;

	Mechanical flexibility in molecular crystalline materials represents a compelling paradigm shift from the long-held perception of crystals as inherently brittle solids. Herein, we demonstrate a brittle-to-elastic transition by subtle molecular modification in a pair of structurally analogous aromatic amides; N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]formamide (N4MFA, Crystal 1) and N-benzylformamide (NBFA, Crystal 2). Despite their close structural similarity, Crystal 1 exhibits brittle fracture under minimal stress, whereas Crystal 2 shows 1D elastic flexibility with reversible bending. Structural, computational, and mechanical analyses reveal that this contrast arises from substituent-controlled supramolecular packing. In Crystal 1, the methoxy (-OCH3) group promotes dense, anisotropic packing, leading to rigidity and fracture under stress. Removing the substituent in Crystal 2 enhances isotropy, pi-pi stacking, and interlocked packing, enabling reversible strain during elastic bending. Nanoindentation, energy framework, and elastic tensor analyses confirm this transition: Crystal 2 shows near-isotropic stiffness (E max/E min = 1.65) and interconnected energy networks, whereas Crystal 1 exhibits pronounced anisotropy (E max/E min = 3.95) and 1D cohesion. Hirshfeld surface analysis supports more balanced contacts in the elastic crystal. This work establishes a direct structure-mechanical correlation, showing that minor chemical modifications can tune flexibility and provide insights to guide the development of adaptive crystalline materials.&lt;/p&gt;

	A cyanoacrylate derivative crystal exhibits an unusual combination of one-dimensional elasticity, plasticity, and reversible hand-held twisting. Twisting induces a reversible single crystal to polycrystal transition. It also displays photobending via a cycloaddition reaction under 365 nm irradiation and thermally recovers its original state, retaining functionality in the twisted state, indicating potential applications in soft robotics and smart actuators.&lt;/p&gt;

	Photoresponsive molecular crystals constitute an emerging class of functional crystalline smart materials that have garnered considerable attention due to their capacity to convert light energy into mechanical motion. These light-induced responses, known as photomechanical effects, render these crystals promising candidates for advanced photoactuators, photonic devices, and intelligent materials. In this study, we synthesized two novel diphenylpenta-2,4-dienenitrile derivative-based crystals 1 and 2, which demonstrate mechanical flexibility and distinct photomechanical responses to 420 nm LED irradiation. Notably, crystal 1 exhibited sequential bending, initially away from the light source and subsequently toward it upon prolonged exposure, whereas crystal 2 exhibited photosalient breaking. These divergent responses are attributed to [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reactions occurring within the crystal lattice. The variations in kinematic behavior are ascribed to differences in the accumulation and subsequent release of strain energy during photocycloaddition. The synergistic integration of photomechanical activity and mechanical flexibility underscores the multifunctional nature of these materials, offering critical insights for the design of crystals with potential applications in optoelectronics, photonics, and molecular switches, thereby expanding the scope of future photoresponsive organic materials.&lt;/p&gt;

	We report cyanoacrylate-based organic crystalline materials that exhibit reversible hand-induced helical twisting through the combined action of 1D elasticity and 2D plasticity. These crystals twist and untwist without lattice damage, retaining their elastic integrity through pi slip-stacking and Cl &amp;amp; ctdot;Cl, C-H &amp;amp; ctdot;Cl, and Me &amp;amp; ctdot;Me interactions. Their unique integration of elastic recovery, plastic bending, and reversible twisting highlights their potential as mechanically adaptive materials for flexible and responsive devices.&lt;/p&gt;
