Visible mechanochromic responses of spiropyrans in crystals via pressure-induced isomerization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The isomerization of spiropyrans in crystals was realized under high pressure, and the corresponding mechanochromic response could be observed by the naked eye. In situ UV-Vis spectroscopy study demonstrated that the equilibrium constant increases with the increasing pressure, from which we proposed that the negative volume of reaction determined the isomerization under high pressure.

Strain-tunable one dimensional photonic crystals based on zirconium dioxide/slide-ring elastomer nanocomposites for mechanochromic sensing.
We demonstrate the fabrication and performance of tunable, elastic organic/inorganic composite one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) in the visible spectrum. By controlling the composition of high refractive index metal oxide nanoparticle/polymer composites, a refractive index difference of 0.18 between the filled and unfilled polymer layers can be achieved while maintaining desirable flexi...
متن کاملMismatched changes of the photoluminescence and crystalline structure of a mechanochromic gold(I) isocyanide complex.
The mechanochromic compound 1 forms green-emitting crystals (1g) and blue-emitting crystals (1b) that exhibit two intriguing responses to mechanical stimulation. Upon mechanical stimulation, the emission color of 1g does not change but its crystalline structure does. Conversely, 1b shows a clear emission shift, but it retains its molecular arrangement upon grinding.
متن کاملInteraction studies between photochromic spiropyrans and transition metal cations: the curious case of copper.
A series of four spiropyrans bearing different substituents on the indolic nitrogen were synthesized and their capability of binding mono and bivalent transition metal cations in solution was assessed via UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. All the compounds responded selectively to the presence of Cu(ii) ions producing intense absorption bands in the visible region of their spectra. Bidimensio...
متن کاملPreparation of a Mechanochromic Elastomer using Liquid Crystal Dispersed in Polymer
We have designed an inexpensive and sensitive mechanochromic system. Our system is prepared by a simple emulsion procedure of nematic liquid crystal in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The resulting polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) exhibits a transmission change of 50% as a response to strain. Here we characterize the morphological, optical, and mechanical factors behind this transmission ch...
متن کاملTrans-cis isomerization and the blue phases.
A new class of photoactive chiral liquid crystals based on a photoactive nematic host material and a photoinactive chiral dopant was utilized to investigate the behavior of the blues phases when trans-cis isomerization is induced. While the general behavior follows what has been observed in the cholesteric phase, the sensitivity of the blue phases to external parameters causes different behavio...
