The first example of a mechanoluminescent organometallic compound, the hafnium carborane complex depicted in the Figure, has been synthesized and investigated for its luminescence properties by the authors. The compound is also electroluminescent, as verified in experiments with the hafnium carborane complex embedded in a hole-transporting polymer.
