Abstract
The preparation of anisotropic mechanical force-triggering high-contrast tricolor fluorescent solid switches is very significative yet extremely challenging. Herein, we report a high-efficiency molecular engineering strategy to develop mechanochromic compounds capable of showing infrequent contrasting three-color fluorescence switching feature. Notably, 14 new symmetric fluorescent molecules by introducing a variety of substituents on either side of the central organic moiety involving 4,4'-((9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methylene)bis(N,N-diphenylaniline) are successfully obtained, and 10 new fluorogenic compounds have been discovered to exhibit seldom-observed tricolored mechanofluorochromic phenomena. Impressively, among them, 8 luminogens demonstrate exceptionally scarce anisotropic force-triggered high-contrast three-color fluorescence responses, which is a commendable achievement, fully verifying the effectiveness of our molecular engineering strategy presented in this study. Furthermore, based on two newly developed representational mechanically responsive tricolor fluorescence switches, three advanced information anticounterfeiting systems are skillfully constructed.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
