Trimercarbazole-based aggregation-induced fluorescence-to-phosphorescence-active gold(I) complexes: Isomeric engineering of auxiliary ligand for high-contrast hypsochromic phosphorescent mechanochromism

Three novel trimercarbazole-based gold(Ι) complexes with positional isomeric auxiliary ligands are elaborately designed and developed. Notably, all these gold(Ι)-containing luminogens exhibit interesting aggregation-induced fluorescence-to-phosphorescence conversion and temperature-dependent phosphorescence characteristics. Furthermore,...
