Giant thermal expansion of a two-dimensional supramolecular network triggered by alkyl chain motion
The intrinsic flexibility of molecules opens the door to unusual physical properties. Now, a large thermal expansion coefficient of 980 ± 110 × 10−6 K−1 is observed by scanning probe microscopy in a supramolecular network on a gold surface.
