Abstract

Stimulus-responsive organic materials with luminescence switching properties have attracted considerable attention for their practical applications in sensing, security, and display devices. In this paper, bent-type bisbenzofuropyrazine derivatives, Bent-H and Bent-sBu, with good solubilities were synthesized, and their physical and optical properties were investigated in detail. Bent-H gave three crystalline polymorphs, and they showed different luminescence properties depending on their crystal packing structures. In addition, Bent-H exhibited mechanochromic luminescence in spite of its rigid skeleton. Bent-sBu exhibited unique concentration-dependent vapochromic luminescence. Ground Bent-sBu was converted to blue-emissive, green-emissive, and green-emissive high-viscosity solution states at low, moderate, and high concentrations of CHCl3 vapor, respectively. This finding represents a concentration-dependent multi-phase transition with an organic solvent, which is of potent interest for application in sensing systems.
