Abstract
Organic luminescent materials that can simultaneously achieve multimode mechanochromism and its water-vapor-induced recovery are desirable for practical applications but rarely reported. Herein, an amphiphilic compound, 4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (CPAB), is designed by integrating a lipophilic aromatic unit and hydrophilic end in the molecular architecture. Self-recovered mechanochromism from brown to cyan is observed upon mechanical grinding in air. Comprehensive research by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal analysis reveals that the photoluminescence switch originates from the variation in intermolecular hydrogen bonds and molecular packing mode. The amphiphilic nature of CPAB allows water molecules to enter the crystalline lattice, forming two polymorphs of the crystalline phase, namely CPAB-D and CPAB-W. The hydrosoluble CPAB exhibits excellent capability in probing the level 3 details of fingerprints because its lipophilic part can target the fatty acid residues of fingerprints, leading to strong aggregation-induced fluorescence. The research may inspire the design of latent fingerprint developers and application in forensics/anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
The development of high-contrast stimulus-responsive materials with excited triplet emission is of great significance for anti-counterfeiting, sensor and memory applications, but remains a challenge. Here, we report a strategy for the rational design of stimulus-responsive phenothiazine derivatives with triplet-related dual emissions and high-contrast mechanochromism guided by Polymorph Prediction. The designed phenothiazine derivatives have the characters of simple structures, a facile synthetic procedure, and a good crystalline nature. We found that the crystals of those derivatives with the potential to form both quasi-axial (ax) and quasi-equatorial (eq) conformations could undergo conformation transition and show significant emission difference (Δλem >100 nm) under mechanical force. Meanwhile, all these phenothiazine derivatives exhibit aggregation-induced emission and emit room-temperature phosphorescence or thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The significant luminescent change of these materials under different stimuli gives them promise for applications in encryption and anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Pure organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has attracted wide interest due to its unique advantages and promising applications. However, it is still challenging to develop efficient RTP through precise molecular design. In this work, RTP is observed from two simple aromatic acids, nicotinic acid (NA) and isonicotinic acid (INA), in the crystal state. Single crystal structure analysis indicates that an intense hydrogen bond between the pyridine nitrogen atom and the carboxyl group results in zigzag and linear molecular packing modes in NA and INA crystal. From theoretical calculations, the hydrogen bond can effectively promote the intersystem crossing process and stabilize triplet exciton. The identical molecular orientations in the molecular array contribute to the larger dipole moment of INA as compared to that of NA, which should be responsible for the red-shifted photoluminescence and RTP of INA. When the hydrogen bond is destructed by grinding or deprotonation, the RTP decreases sharply, further confirming the crucial role of the hydrogen bond on RTP.

Abstract
A series of triphenylethylene derivatives exhibited multi-photoresponsive properties, including photochromism, photodeformation and room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), which are strongly related to molecular conformations and packing in the aggregated states. Accordingly, these properties can be subtly adjusted by substituents to the center double bond and/or peripheral phenyl moieties. The introduction of bromine atom was beneficial to photochromism and photodeformation properties as a result of the additional C-H⋯Br interactions and electron-withdrawing property. Also, it can promote the RTP effect via heavy atom effect, resulting in persistent afterglow lasting up to 150 min as detected by chemiluminescent imaging system.

Abstract
A set of red-light-excited, metal-free room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) systems was constructed with brominated phenolsulfonephthaleine derivatives. The best metal-free RTP system has the reddest near-infrared (NIR) RTP emission (λp = 819 nm) with the highest phosphorescence quantum yield (ΦRTP = 3.0%) so far identified. The RTP emission can be switched ON-OFF by adding acid and alkali alternately. A logic operation with half-subtractor function and dual-channel response (visible light emission/NIR RTP emission) was also constructed based on these properties.
