Key Points

To investigate the luminescent properties of a thianthrene-fused coumarin dye under mechanical stimulation.
Synthesis of thianthrene-fused coumarin dye (6,7-BDTC)
Characterization using X-ray crystallography
Assessment of mechanochromic luminescence in powder samples
Dye demonstrates pronounced mechanochromic luminescence shifting from light-blue to green emission
X-ray crystallography reveals structural polymorphs
Mechanical stimulation leads to significant color change in emission.

Abstract

The powder samples of a novel thianthrene-fused coumarin dye (6,7-BDTC) demonstrated pronounced mechanochromic luminescence, shifting from a light-blue to a green emission upon mechanical stimulation. X-ray crystallography of polymorphs with...
