Abstract
(Figure Presented) 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 Cu-O junctions.
