Directed polymorphism and mechanofluorochromism of conjugated materials through weak non-covalent control

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: . Finally, the PEs show reversible violet-to-green mechanofluorochromism (MFC), with temperature required for reversion of this MFC decreasing with alkyl chain length. We therefore present this design of directional but weak interactions as a strategy to access polymorphs and tunable stimuli-responsive behavior in solids.
