We have utilized data mining approaches to elucidate over 1000 2D materials and several hundred 3D materials consisting of van der Waals bonded 1D subcomponents, or molecular wires. We find that hundreds of these 2D materials have the potential to exhibit observable piezoelectric effects, representing a new class of piezoelectrics.  Another subset of these materials has the potential to exhibit structural changes under a variety of external stimuli including electrostatic gating.  I will discuss calculations of phase diagrams, recent experimental results demonstrating the predicted electrostatic gating phase change effect, and potential phase change applications for these materials. <br/>
