Ethylacridone ( 1 b ) and dicyanomethylenated acridones 2 a , b , d showed crystal‐jumping activity upon heating. This is the first example of thermosalient behavior in a simple aromatic ketone and its derivatives. A systematic investigation of the jumping behavior of derivatives with different alkyl chains by variable‐temperature X‐ray crystal‐structure analyses revealed the mechanism of this phenomenon. Anisotropic dissociation of π stacking in a dimer was important for inducing crystal jumping in 1 b , whereas the collective fluctuation/flipping motion of a dicyanomethylene unit induced crystal jumping in 2 .
