Abstract | Cited by

4-Bromobenzonitrile was crystallised by sublimation under vacuum. The crystals show highly flexible plastic bending along two perpendicular faces when a mechanical force is applied. The rare occurrence of bending along two perpendicular faces results in twisting or helix formation.
