Abstract

In this work, the mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) property of a binuclear zero-dimensional cadmium complex with a variety of weak interactions is investigated. It exhibits a reversible transition between blue (445 nm) and yellow-green (470 nm) emission under the alternating treatments of grinding and CH3CN fumigation. The mechanism of MCL is proposed by combining the structural features, characterization results and theoretical calculations. During the grinding process, the ordered stacking of the structural units is disrupted and the crystalline state is transformed into an amorphous state, which is accompanied by a transition of the luminescent center from exciplex to excimer. In addition to exploring the MCL properties of a binuclear cadmium complex, this work provides feasible ideas for studying the response mechanism.
