Mechanofluorochromism: from molecular engineering to the elaboration of smart materials

The MECHANO-FLUO project aims at preparing mechanofluorochromic molecules and materials, understand and tune their photophysical and mechanofluorochromic properties, and implement these new materials as quantitative mechanical force sensors. Mechanofluorochromism relates to fluorescent compounds in the solid state for which emission spectrum changes upon application of a mechanical stimulus. The interest for this phenomenon has enormously increased for the last 4 years but studies aiming at understanding the structure-mechanofluorochromic properties relationships are still in their infancy and many examples remain purely qualitative. In the MECHANO-FLUO project, I will synthesize a library…
