Regulable high-contrast mechanofluorochromic enhancement behaviour based on substituent effects

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 4;60(29):3966-3969. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00476k.

Abstract

Herein, a facile strategy was established to build mechanoresponsive luminogens with high sensitivity to substituents and positional effects. Even in slightly different structures, distinct optical phenomena, including fluorescence efficiency and mechano-responsive properties, were clearly present. Outstanding mechanical-induced emission enhancement (5-100 times) properties and reversibility makes for promising applications in pressure sensors and OLEDs.
