The structural dynamics of two elastically bendable, halogenated N-benzylideneaniline organic crystals were studied using an in situ three-point bending test and Raman spectroscopy. This study reveals the inhomogeneous molecular distribution in the elastic crystal lattice during the bent stage and further validates the known qualitative mechanistic model of elastic bendable crystals. © 2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
