Mechano-induced reversible colour and luminescence switching of a gold(i)–diphosphine complex†
Abstract
A gold(I)–diphosphine simultaneously exhibits reversible mechanochromism and mechanochromic luminescence. The mechanical grinding can trigger a transformation from a neutral mononuclear structure exhibiting white colour and blue photoluminescence to an ionic dinuclear structure with intramolecular aurophilic interactions exhibiting yellow colour and red emission.
