Luminescent mechanochromism of gold N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with hypso- and bathochromic spectral shifts†
Abstract
Two gold N-heterocyclic carbene complexes show contrasting luminescent mechanochromism behavior with hypso- and bathochromic spectral shifts. The distinct emission shifts upon mechanical stimulation can be explained by the aggregate-to-monomer transformation and intensified intermolecular interactions, respectively.
