T1 - Structure-mechanical property correlation of a series of 4-(1-Napthylvinyl) pyridine based cocrystals N2 - We obtained three 4-(1-Napthylvinyl) pyridine based cocrystals ( 1–3 ) and studied its structure mechan- ical property correlation which aimed towards various applications for photo switches, mechanical ac- tuators etc. Selection of coformer molecules is important in fine tuning mechanical property outcome of synthesized cocrystals. Amongst three cocrystals, cocrystal 1 is mechanically flexible and its mechani- cal property is attributed to underlying crystal packing features which is in line with existing elastically bendable crystals while other two cocrystals ( 2, 3 ) are brittle in nature. Hirshfeld analysis was carried out to illustrate structure-property correlation particularly in terms of number as well as types of non- covalent interactions in the lattice and further to corroborate the space of the molecules in the lattice.
