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.
