Abstract
Mechanically flexible coordination polymers (CPs) represent new directions for advanced materials design. We herein report unprecedented complexity in the design of isostructural mechanically flexible CPs, with elastic, plastic, and delaminating properties. Ab initio simulations show how these properties can be rationalised by analysis of the simulated elastic tensor.
