In this work, a class of π-conjugated BTD-based luminogens BTD-685, BTD-580, BTD-675 and BTD-565 were designed by varying donor units and facilely synthesized by Heck coupling reaction. It was found that their emission in solid state covered the regio from orange, red to near infrared fluorescence. Investigation on photo-physical property manifested that they had strong solvatochromic behavior except symmetric 2-vinylpyridine substituted BTD-565. Crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that they involved in multi weak intermolecular interactions. And loose molecular packing implied that they can be easily rearranged under external force stimuli.Indeed, all compounds showed reversible mechanically-responsive behavior in solid state. Interestingly, the vinylpyridinecontaining BTD-565 exhibited hypochromatic mechanochromic behavior, whereas others showed bathochromic mechanochromism behavior. It was worth mentioning that BTD-675 had self-recovery behavior after grinding. The powder X-ray diffraction study showed that these chromic processes may be mainly attributed to the reversible morphological changes between crystalline and amorphous phase upon grinding or fuming. These observations suggested that the vinyl-functionalized benzothiadiazoles can be considered as a type of excellent candidates in mechanically-responsive chromic materials.展开更多

During the past two decades, the development of gold(Ⅰ) chemistry has been attracting the attention of plenty of researchers. Indeed, a variety of gold(I) complexes with fascinating photophysical behaviors have been discovered. This review focuses on the research progress in the different types of mechanoluminochromic gold(Ⅰ) complexes, including mono-, bi-and multi-nuclear gold(Ⅰ)systems. Their interesting luminescence behaviors of these gold(Ⅰ)-containing luminogens upon mechanical stimulus and the proposed mechanisms of their observed mechanochromic luminescence are summarized systematacially. Moreover, this review will put forward an outlook about the possible opportunities and challenges in this significative scientific field.展开更多

In this study, compound 1 bearing sulfonamidc and morpholine functionalities was synthesized. Its structure was well characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. UV/vis absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra indicated that it displayed high sensitivity and selectivity for Cu^2+ and Ag^+ by switching solvent media. It means that: (1) it showed selective response to Cu2+ in acetonitrile, (2) whereas it exhibited high selectivity for Ag^+ in water. The density functional theory calculations were used to clearly explain the different recognition behaviors in different solvent media. This research suggests that compound 1 bearing sulfonamide and morpholine functionalities could act as a multiftmctional chemosensor for monitoring multiple cations by changing solvent media and provides an alternative approach to design novel dual cations chemosensors.展开更多
