Luminescent mechanochromism has been intensively studied in the past few years. However, difference anisotropic grinding and isotropic compression is not clearly distinguished many cases, spite of importance this discrimination for application such mechanochromic materials. We now report distinct luminescent responses a new organic fluorophore, tetrathiazolylthiophene, to these stresses. The multichromism achieved over entire visible region using single fluorophore. different mechanisms blue...

Abstract An amine‐embedded flexible alkyl strap has been incorporated into an emissive boryl‐substituted dithienylpyrrole skeleton as a new entity of excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) chromophores. The π‐electron system shows dual emission, which covers wide range the visible region depending on solvent polarity. incorporation aminoalkyl well terminal boryl groups efficiently stabilize zwitterionic species resulting from ESIPT even in aqueous medium.

Novel regioisomeric alkylated-naphthalene liquids were designed and synthesized. In the solvent-free liquid state, 1-alkyloxy regioisomers showed excimeric luminescence, whereas 2-alkyloxy analogues exhibited monomer-rich luminescence features. Correlations among molecular structures photophysical, calorimetric, rheological properties are presented, demonstrating impact of regioisomerism on alkylated-chromophore systems.
