Abstract
Mechanical stimulus-responsive materials are generally considered to be closely related to molecular packing in the solid state, underscoring the significance of regulating molecular packing via precise molecular design. In this study, flexible alkyl substituents were employed to adjust the molecular packing. By modifying alkyl substituents, predictable changes in the molecular packing of their derivatives were observed, resulting in adjustable ML properties. The DPA-PYZ-TB with a tert-butyl-side chain exhibited strong ML and MC stimulus response signals. The enhanced ML and MC performance can be attributed to the effective suppression of non-radiation through the helical crystal arrangement and strong intermolecular interactions. The relationship between molecular arrangement and ML/MC properties was validated through analysis of the single crystal structure and corresponding experimental results. This study offers valuable insights into the enigmatic ML process and the development of efficient luminous materials that utilize both MC and ML.
