Although bright organic mechanoluminescence (ML) has been observed for a few luminophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE), details of the positive effect of AIE on ML performance remain unclear and a feasible design principle for AIE-ML compounds has not yet been presented. Herein, an effective strategy for the molecular design of efficient AIE-ML materials is demonstrated, based on tetraphenylethene (TPE) building blocks with formyl substituents, which yield non-centrosymmetric crystal ...[more]
