Liquid crystals have been intensively studied as functional materials. Recently, integration of
various disciplines has led to new directions in the design of functional liquid‐crystalline …

Smart materials based on stimuli-fluorochromic π-conjugated solids (SFCSs) have aroused
significant interest due to their versatile and exciting properties, leading to advanced …

Herein, the universal design of high‐efficiency stimuli‐responsive luminous materials
endowed with mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) and thermally activated delayed …

In a liquid crystal (LC) state, specific orientations and alignments of LC molecules produce
outstanding anisotropy in structure and properties, followed by diverse optoelectronic …

Modification on typical of molecular unit with aggregation-induced emission
(AIE)/aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) can play a important role in …

A series of amphiphilic diazapyrenes exhibiting switchable fluorescence under the stimulus
of mechanical force or water vapor are reported for the first time. Comprehensive studies of …

Two DA carbazole derivatives (TBCA and NCA) were synthesized to investigate the
influence of terminal group on the photophysical and mechanofluorochromic (MFC) …

We report two distinct approaches to prepare unprecedented liquid-crystalline (LC) J-
aggregates based on bis-core-dendronized naphthalene diimides (NDIs). The NDI 1, with …

We report the liquid‐crystalline (LC) and luminescent properties of a series of N‐annulated
perylenes (1–4) in whose molecular structures amide and ester groups alternate. We found …

It is still very challenging to obtain mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) systems that
combine high-contrast photoluminescence colour change together with high quantum yields …
