Abstract
Mechanoresponsive luminescent materials have attracted widespread attention for their potential applications, especially for these behaving pressure-induced emission enhancement (PIEE). Designing and seeking systems with high-efficiency PIEE are desirable and crucial for material science. Here, the mechanisms of different piezoresponsive luminescence of 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylthiophene (TPT) and 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylfuran (TPF) crystals are explored. The experimental results combined with density functional theory (DFT) theory calculation indicate that the PIEE phenomenon is possibly exhibited in V-shape arrangement for the reason of the weak π-π interactions. This study not only gains deep insight into the relationship between optical properties and structural evolution but also puts forward a strategy for designing PIEE materials from the point of molecular arrangement.
