Abstract
We report the first two-dimensionally (2D) elastically bendable and twistable pharmaceutical-solvate crystal, indomethacin methanol. Its flexibility is due to interlocked packing and a structural buffer acting like isotropic interactions. For the first time, we utilized Raman spectroscopy on the two elastic faces of a bent crystal region, revealing the inhomogeneous molecular distribution in the crystal structure during bending and validating the mechanistic model of the 2D elastic crystal.
