Abstract
The interaction between excitons and photons underlies a range of emergent technologies, such as directional light emission, molecular lasers, photonic circuits, and polaritonic devices. Two of the key parameters that impact exciton-photon coupling are the binding energy of excitons and the relative orientations between the exciton dipole and photon field. Tightly bound excitons are typically found in molecular crystals, where nevertheless the angular relationship of excitons with photon fields is difficult to control. Here, we demonstrate directional exciton dipoles and photon fields, anchored by metal-ligand coordination. In a pyrene-porphyrin bichromophoric metal-organic framework (MOF), we observe that the perpendicular arrangement of the pyrene- and porphyrin-based exciton dipoles engenders orthogonal polarizations of their respective emissions. The alignment of the directional exciton and photon fields gives rise to an anisotropic waveguide effect, where the pyrene- and the porphyrin-based emissions show distinct spatial distribution within microplate-shaped MOF crystals. This capability to simultaneously host heterogenous excitonic states and anisotropic photon fields points toward MOFs' yet-to-be-realized potential as a platform for advancing the frontier in the field of exciton-photonics, which centers around engineering emergent properties from the interplay between excitons and photons.

Abstract
Flexible organic crystals with unique mechanical properties and excellent optical properties are of paramount significance for their wide applications in various research fields such as adaptive optics and soft robotics. However, low-temperature-resistant flexible organic crystal with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has never been reported. Herein, chiral organic crystals with CPL activity and low-temperature flexibility (77 K) are fabricated by the solvent diffusion method from chiral Schiff base, S(R)-4-bromo-2-(((1-phenylethyl)imino)methyl)phenol (S(R)-BPEMP). The corresponding chirooptical properties for the two enantiomeric crystals were thoroughly investigated, including the measurements of circular dichroism (CD) and CPL. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on low-molecular-weight flexible organic crystals with CPL activity, and we believe that the results will give a new impetus to the research of organic crystals.

Abstract
We demonstrate mechanically-powered rolling locomotion of a twisted-microcrystal optical-waveguide cavity on the substrate, rotating the output signal's linear-polarization. Self-assembly of (E)-2-bromo-6-(((4-methoxyphenyl)imino)methyl)-4-nitrophenol produces naturally twisted microcrystals. The strain between several intergrowing, orientationally mismatched nanocrystalline fibres dictates the pitch lengths of the twisted crystals. The crystals are flexible, perpendicular to twisted (001) and (010) planes due to π⋅⋅⋅π stacking, C-H⋅⋅⋅Br, N-H⋅⋅⋅O and C-H⋅⋅⋅O interactions. The twisted crystals in their straight and bent geometries guide fluorescence along their body axes and display optical modes. Depending upon the degree of mechanical rolling locomotion, the crystal-waveguide cavity correspondingly rotates the output signal polarization. The presented twisted-crystal cavity with a combination of mechanical locomotion and photonic attributes unfolds a new dimension in mechanophotonics.

Abstract
Although, dynamic crystals are attractive for use in many technologies, molecular level mechanisms of various solid-state dynamic processes and their interdependence, remain poorly understood. Here, we report a rare example of a dynamic crystal (1), involving a heavy transition metal, rhenium, with an initial two-face elasticity (within ≈1 % strain), followed by elasto-plastic deformation, at room temperature. Further, these crystals transform to a rotator (plastic) crystal phase at ≈105 °C, displaying exceptional malleability. Qualitative and quantitative mechanical tests, X-ray diffraction, μ-Raman and polarized light microscopy experiments reveal that the elasto-plastic deformation involves both partial molecular rotations and slip, while malleability in the rotator phase is facilitated by reorientational motions and increased symmetry (slip planes). Our work, connecting the plastically bendable (1D or 2D) crystals with the rotator phases (3D), is important for designing multi-functional dynamic crystals.

Abstract
Elastic organic single crystals with light-emitting and multi-faceted bending properties are extremely rare. They have potential application in optical materials and have attracted the extensive attention of researchers. In this paper, we reported a structurally simple barbituric derivative DBDT, which was easily crystallized and gained long needle-like crystals (centimeter-scale) in DCM/CH3 OH (v/v=2/8). Upon applying or removing the mechanical force, both the (100) and (040) faces of the needle-like crystal showed reversible bending behaviour, showing the nature of multi-faceted bending. The average hardness (H) and elastic modulus (E) were 0.28±0.01 GPa and 4.56±0.03 GPa for the (040) plane, respectively. Through the analysis of the single crystal data, it could be seen that the van der waals (C-H⋅⋅⋅π and C-H⋅⋅⋅C), H-bond (C-H⋅⋅⋅O) and π⋅⋅⋅π interactions between molecules were responsible for the generation of the crystal elasticity. Interestingly, elastic crystals exhibited optical waveguide characteristics in straight or bent state. The optical loss coefficients measured at 627 nm were 0.7 dBmm-1 (straight state) and 0.9 dBmm-1 (bent state), while the optical loss coefficient (α) were 1.5 dBmm-1 (straight state) and 1.8 dBmm-1 (bent state) at 567 nm. Notably, the elastic organic molecular crystal based on barbituric derivative could be used as the candidate for flexible optical devices.

Abstract
Ambient pressure chemical vapour deposition of 5,5'-bis((2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethynyl)-2,2'-bithiophene provides ultrapure needle-shaped crystals. The crystal's supramolecular structure consists of an array of hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions leading to anisotropic arrangements. The cyan emitting crystals exhibit an optical waveguiding tendency with guided polarised optical emissions due to anisotropic molecular arrangements.

Abstract
With the increasing popularity and burgeoning progress of space technology, the development of ultralow-temperature flexible functional materials is a great challenge. Herein, we report a highly emissive organic crystal combining ultralow-temperature elasticity and self-waveguide properties (when a crystal is excited, it emits light from itself, which travels through the crystal to the other end) based on a simple single-benzene emitter. This crystal displayed excellent elastic bending ability in liquid nitrogen (LN). Preliminary experiments on optical waveguiding in the bent crystal demonstrated that the light generated by the crystal itself could be confined and propagated within the crystal body between 170 and -196 °C. These results not only suggest a guideline for designing functional organic crystals with ultralow-temperature elasticity but also expand the application region of flexible materials to extreme environments, such as space technology.

Abstract
Single crystals of optoelectronic materials that respond to external stimuli, such as mechanical, light, or heat, are immensely attractive for next generation smart materials. Here we report single crystals of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore analogue with irreversible mechanical bending and associated unusual enhancement of the fluorescence, which is attributed to the strained molecular packing in the perturbed region. Soft crystalline materials with such fluorescence intensity modulations occurring in response to mechanical stimuli under ambient pressure conditions will have potential implications for the design of technologically relevant tunable fluorescent materials.
