Mechanically interlocked architecture aids an ultra-stiff and ultra-hard elastically bendable cocrystal

Molecular crystals are typically less stiff than metals or ceramics. Here the authors report an organic elastically bendable co-crystal with stiffness comparable to low-density metals, hardness similar to stainless steel and reveal the molecular mechanism which lead to these mechanical properties.
