Ask the locals : Dynamic deformation of the dicopper tetracarboxylate paddlewheel unit within a metal–organic framework from square‐prismatic (see picture, left) to distorted (right) occurs at very low energies. This deformation, which contributes strongly to the negative thermal expansion of this system, is a local vibration induced by a redistribution of electron density at the CuO junctions.
