Artificial molecules that respond to external stimuli such as light, heat, chemical signals, and
mechanical force have garnered significant interest due to their tunable functions, variable …

An ultrasensitive concentration‐dependent ESIPT mechanochromic mechanophore (MM)
NaMz (4‐amino‐2‐(1H‐naphtho [2, 3‐d] imidazol‐2‐yl) phenol), which exhibits real‐time …

We recently introduced rotaxane-based supramolecular mechanophores that are composed
of a cyclic molecule featuring a luminophore, which is threaded onto an axle molecule that …

Mechanochromic functionality realized via the force‐responsive mechanophores in
polymers has great potential for damage sensing and information storage. Mechanophores …

Xanthene-modified 1, 2-dioxetane (Xa-Ad) derivatives were designed and synthesized
using a facile protocol, and their mechanical activity was identified for the first time to the …

Despite recent significant breakthroughs in novel mechanochromic luminescent (ML)
materials, developing a high‐sensitivity ML material is still challengeable. Herein, a “friction …

Self‐reporting materials have emerged as a promising tool for real‐time monitoring of stress
and damage in structural materials. When critical stress is applied to these materials, an …

Mechanochromic mechanophores which instantly and reversibly change their
photoluminescence color are suitable molecular probes for the in situ visualization and …

The optical detection of mechanical strain and stress in polymers is a powerful and
convenient approach for studying deformation processes in these materials and identifying …

The influence of stereochemistry on the mechanochemistry rate is studied using a new
mechanophore based on a benzopinacol (BP) skeleton. Two sets of BP diastereomers, the …
