1203:. This flexibility is anisotropic; to bend HCB to 180° you must stress the face of the crystal. Another example of a flexible molecular solid is 2-(methylthio)nicotinic acid (MTN). MTN is flexible due to its strong hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions creating a rigid set of dimers that dislocate along the alignment of their terminal methyls. When stressed on the face this crystal will bend 180°. Note, not all ductile molecular solids bend 180°, and some may have more than one bending face.

This partial negative charge leads to a strong interaction with the thio- moiety of the TTF. The strong interaction leads to favorable alignment of these functional groups adjacent to each other in the solid state. While π-π interactions cause the TTF and TCNQ to stack in separate columns.

The dipole-dipole and other intermolecular interactions align to minimize energy in the solid state and determine the crystal lattice structure.

Typically, a molecular solid is ductile when it has isotropic intermolecular interactions. This allows for dislocation between layers of the crystal much like metals. For example,
