The employment of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to design luminescent metal
compounds has been the focus of recent intense investigations because of the strong σ …

Mechanoluminescence (ML) is the emission of light consecutive to a mechanical force or
stress imposed to a crystalline material. Many inorganic and organic compounds present …

The investigation of the mechanisms of mechanochromic luminescence is of fundamental
importance for the development of materials for photonic sensors, data storage, and …

Ferroelasticity has been reported for several types of molecular crystals, which show
mechanical‐stress‐induced shape change under twinning and/or spontaneous formation of …

Recent years have witnessed a meteoric rise in the utilization of carbenes as ligands for the
synthesis of coinage metal complexes due to their potential application in various fields. One …

In the last decade, the field of stimuli-responsive luminescent materials have been intensely
