Triphenylamine, carbazole or tetraphenylethylene-based gold(I) complexes: Tunable solid-state room-temperature phosphorescence and various mechanochromic luminescence characteristics

Synopsis: Three carbazole-based gold(Ι) complexes were successfully synthesized. These complexes showed color-tunable solid-state room-temperature phosphorescence characteristics. Furthermore, these luminogens exhibited various mechanical stimulus-responsive luminescence behaviors.253
