Tricolor Reversible Luminescence Switching of a Mechano-/Vapochromic Mononuclear Cu(I) Complex
Key Points
The study aims to explore the reversible luminescence behavior of a novel mononuclear Cu(I) complex under different conditions.
Synthesis of two crystalline forms of a Cu(I) complex: unsolvated and acetone solvate.
Characterization of the luminescent properties of both forms.
Application of mechanical and vapor stimuli to induce luminescence switching.
Demonstrated tricolor reversible luminescence switching in response to mechanical and vapor stimuli.
Showed that molecular packing affects luminescent behavior in different solvated states.
Abstract
We synthesized two crystalline forms of a novel mononuclear Cu(I) complex (1): an unsolvated form (1-c) and an acetone solvate (1-g). Solvent inclusion dictates the molecular packing mode, leading to...
