Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the structural dynamics and internal stress in a flexible lipidated molecular crystal, revealing complex vibrational frequency shifts during bending.
  • These shifts, identified through micro-Raman mapping, challenge existing bending models based on intermolecular hydrogen bonds, as they show unexpected behaviors in inner and outer bent regions.
  • The findings indicate a significant local stress difference of about 2 GPa, which drastically impacts the performance of molecular devices like piezoelectric harvesters and flexible electronics.
