We report herein the mechanically induced luminescent color change of a molecule with two anthracene moieties and a rhodamine 6G unit at both sides of a branched amidoamine spacer. Different emission properties of this compound are due to the Ï-Ï overlap of anthracene moieties and the ring-opening reaction of rhodamine 6G.
Graphical abstractThe molecule with two anthracene moieties and a rhodamine 6G unit at both sides of a branched amidoamine spacer was synthesized. The luminescent properties of this molecule with the color change from blue-green to orange under mechanical stimulus were observed. Different emission properties of this compound are due to the Ï-Ï overlap of anthracene moieties and the ring-opening reaction of rhodamine 6G.Download full-size image
