Dynamic photoactuating crystals are making waves for their ability to transform industries, offering groundbreaking possibilities in fields such as medical technology, robotics, and flexible electronics. These respond light, enabling innovations smart devices, artificial muscles, molecular machines, sensors, microrobots, heralding a new era of highly adaptive efficient technologies. Herein, we report two iso-structural metal-organic [Cd(quin)2(4-nvp)2] [Zn(quin)2(4-nvp)2] [Hquin = quinoline-2-carboxylic acid 4-nvp 4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine] based on Cd(II) Zn(II) ions respectively, that undergo solid-state photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction accompanied by photosalient (PS) effect, wherein both the show popping, swelling, splitting upon UV irradiation, explicitly probed nanoindentation studies. Thus, these findings may pave way fabrication materials.
