Structural disorder and transformation in crystal growth: direct observation of ring-opening isomerization in a metal–organic solid solution

The co-crystallization of cyclic and polymeric isomers in the same crystal in varying ratios with the skeleton frameworks packed in a geometrically compatible and energetically similar fashion gives a chance to rationalize ring-opening isomerization in a crystal growth process.
