Optical force probes that can release force‐dependent and visualized signals with minimal
changes in the polymer main chains under mechanical load are highly sought after but …

Carboranes are an important class of electron-delocalized icosahedral carbon–boron
clusters with unique physical and chemical properties, which can offer various functions to …

We report the mechanochemical reactivity of the highly strained pentacyclic hydrocarbon
cubane. The mechanical reactivity of cubane is explored for three regioisomers with 1, 2-, 1 …

Polymer mechanochemistry has been established as an enabling tool in accessing
chemical reactivity and reaction pathways that are distinctive from their thermal counterparts …

High-performance polymers (HPPs) have good thermal and mechanical properties even
under harsh environments and are widely used in aerospace, microelectronics, automobile …

Functionalization of polyethylene toward high-performance polymers with good thermal and
mechanical properties is a persistent challenge. Closo-carboranes, with a polyhedral …

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 …

The host–guest recognition of crown ethers and alkali metal ions plays a key role in many
functional systems. The understanding of the static conformation of the crown ether ring and …

The combination of carbon‐based nanohoops with other functional organic molecular
structures should lead to the design of new molecular configurations with interesting …

Radical‐type mechanophores (RMs) can undergo homolytic cleavage of their central C− C
bonds upon exposure to mechanical forces, which affords radical species. Understanding …
