Abstract
Soft porous nanocrystals with a pronounced shape-memory effect exhibit two- to three-fold increase in elastic modulus compared to the microcrystalline counterpart as determined by atomic force microscopy nanoindentation. The increase in rigidity is consistent with the known shape-memory effect displayed by the framework solid at the nanoscale. Crystal downsizing can offer new avenues for tailoring the mechanical properties of metal-organic frameworks.
