Self-healing ferroelastic metal–organic framework sensing guests, pressure and chemical environment
Aleksandra Półrolniczak, Andrzej Katrusiak
Abstract
A pleochroic MOF is ferroelastic under high pressure, but it is not affected by temperature changes. The transition pressure depends on the guest and environment. The crystals are capable of self-healing under normal conditions.
