About
Amit Mondal is a leading researcher in the field of crystal engineering and materials chemistry, with a particular focus on the mechanical properties of molecular crystals. His major contribution lies in uncovering the molecular origins of metal-like ductility in organic plastic crystals—a phenomenon once thought impossible for such materials. By systematically studying the role of molecular shape and dihydrogen bonding interactions in aminoboranes, Mondal demonstrated that certain organic crystals can exhibit exceptional, multi-directional plasticity and malleability, rivalling that of metals. This breakthrough work, published in 2020, has already garnered over 128 citations, reflecting its profound impact on the design of flexible, mechanically robust organic materials. His research bridges fundamental supramolecular chemistry with practical applications in flexible electronics and adaptive materials. Mondal’s findings challenge long-held assumptions about the brittleness of organic solids, opening new avenues for the development of smart, deformable crystalline materials. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of molecular structure, intermolecular interactions, and macroscopic mechanical behavior.
