Abstract
Herein, we report three crystals of styryl quinoline derivatives. All these three crystals are mechanically flexible crystals, isostructural and also all of them comply with the common underlying features for elastic flexibility like absence of slip plane, criss-cross packing arrangement of neighbouring tapes, presence of weak and dispersive interactions such as halogen bonds, hydrogen bonds etc. The interactions facilitate easy movement of molecules under application of pressure thereby imparting elasticity. Further, the crystals were found to be blue light emitting making them promising candidates for optical waveguides. The optical properties were combined with flexibility by using crystal engineering approach towards achieving various applications such as flexible OLEDs, optical waveguides, flexible optoelectronics etc.
