A novel ultrasound-sensitive mechanofluorochromic AIE-compound with remarkable blue-shifting and enhanced emission†
Abstract
A novel ultrasonic-sensitive mechanofluorochromic AIE-compound (ITPADA) has been designed and synthesized. The fluorescent properties of the ITPADA suspensions were greatly affected by the ultrasonic treatment and extremely sensitive to its power, which show remarkable blue-shifting and enhanced emission. Moreover, perfect ITPADA nano-sheets could be obtained by facile ultrasonic treatment.
