Mechano-, thermo-, solvato-, and vapochromism in bis(acetato-κ1O)[4′-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)](2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3N,N′,N′′)zinc(ii) and its polymer†
Abstract
The titled complex exhibits multi-functional luminochromism in the solid state, despite its simple chemical structure. The complex shows solid-state vapochromism and mechanochromism. The polymer analogue of the complex undergoes solvatochromism and thermochromism.
