Straight, bendable and bent organic crystals

Abstract

trans-4-Phenylazobenzoic acid (pab) crystallized in three different morphologies: long rod-like crystals, bendable long thin crystals, and bent crystals. Of them, the bent crystals were obtained by recrystallizing after subjecting pab to UV-irradiation in solution. A small amount of cis-form in the bent crystals is responsible for the bent nature, while the elastic bending of thin platy crystals can be understood from the crystal packing.
