Color schemes: A mechanochromic material composed of two types of peptides bearing a pyrene group and rhodamine B moieties, respectively, displays multiluminescent colors, such as blue, green, and reddish in one sample (see picture). The mechanochromic behavior is based on a combined switching of molecular assemblies and chemical structure.
