Structure determination reveals that both the complexes crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c and exhibit one-dimensional (1D) ladder like structures constructed by p-bdc and azpy ligands in which Schiff base (azpy) linkers serve as a bridging as well as pendent ligands. These pendent ligands are involved in H-bonding and pi-pi interactions with lattice water, methanol molecules and bridging azpy ligands, to form the 3D supramolecular structure. Notably, both the frameworks efficiently catalyze the Knoevenagel condensation reactions of a wide range of substituted benzaldehydes with active methylene compounds in heterogeneous medium under environmentally friendly conditions and the products were obtained in excellent yields. These catalysts were also found to exhibit excellent recyclability and re-usability without any significant loss of activity. A variable temperature magnetic study of both compounds was carried out and their magnetic properties justified on the basis of their crystal structure.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.532</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parthasarathy, Thiyagaraj</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mishra, Manish Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhattacharya, Biswajit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emmerling, Franziska</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosh, Soumyajit</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simultaneously mechanically flexible, photobending, and acidochromic cyanostilbene molecular crystals</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crystal Growth &amp; Design</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2024</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">309-318</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	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;
