Thermally Facilitated Visible-Light-Induced Crystal Melting Data for Adhesive Testing

Crystallographic Information Files (CIF) for photoactive molecular crystals (E)-NT and (E)-NTB, which exhibit rapid crystal-to-liquid transitions within 5 seconds under visible light at 40°C. The dataset, authored by Chen-Chen Zhang and last updated in March 2026, supports research into photoresponsive adhesives that can bear weights up to 10^5 times their own mass and achieve at least 50 adhesion-detach cycles. The resulting adhesive liquid demonstrates fast adhesion (<10 s) to various substrates and resilience in seawater for 1 week.

Use Cases

• Modeling photochemical E-to-Z isomerization kinetics based on the described kinetic rate improvements.
• Developing reversible adhesive systems based on the described rapid crystal-to-liquid transition and cyclic recovery.
• Simulating crystal lattice changes based on the described molecular distortion from heterocyclic structures.
• Testing adhesive performance under environmental stress based on the described seawater resilience and weight-bearing capacity.

Strengths

• Adhesive strength capable of bearing a weight up to 10^5 times its own mass.
• Fast adhesion (<10 seconds) with at least 50 demonstrated adhesion-detach cycles.
• Adhesive remains functional after 1 week of storage in seawater.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
