A novel single organic molecule-carborane conjugate, <b>CAN</b>, was synthesized in a high yield <i>via</i> a modified nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction incorporating an anthracene unit and an <i>o</i>-carborane moiety. <b>CAN</b> exhibits multiple functions of tricolored mechanochromism and mechanically triggered thermochromism. The fluorescence could be switched from blue to bright yellow then to pink by grinding. The robust and reversible thermochromic process was triggered by the mech ...[more]
