ABSTRACT
The morphological symmetry-retaining and symmetry-breaking of single crystals of the γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework have been achieved via introducing lower symmetric ß-cyclodextrins and α-cyclodextrins, respectively. ß-cyclodextrins led to a morphological evolution with retained symmetry from cubic to rhombic dodecahedra, while α-cyclodextrins resulted in the original cubic crystal missing a vertex angle presenting symmetry-breaking behavior. The crystal structures of rhombic dodecahedra and angle-deficient crystals were confirmed through X-ray crystallography, and the mechanisms underlying the morphological transformation evolution were further analyzed. Our work not only provides a rare case realizing two different paths of morphological evolution in one system, but also encourages future efforts towards the evolution of artificial crystal systems in a natural way.
