Abstract

Abstract : Reversible tuning of the structure and optical properties of molecular nanocrystals is demonstrated by F. Bai, H. Fan, and co‐workers on page 1989, through systematically applied pressure. Compression under high pressure can systematically tune the optical properties and mechanical stability of the molecular nanocrystals, providing new insights into molecular interactions. Exerting pressure‐dependent control over atomic bonds and bond angles provides new opportunities for investigation of molecular coupling and energy‐related applications in photocatalysis, pressure sensing, molecular nanoelectronics, and nanophotonics.
