Isonicotinic acid anthracen-9-ylmethylene-hydrazide (AI), prepared from anthracene-9-carboxaldehyde and isoniazid, exhibited mechano-responsive luminescent emissions; for instance, gentle pressing of the weakly emissive crystals of AI (λem 527 nm) produced a yellow-green emissive material (λem 540 nm). Also, the mechano-luminescent emissions of AI could be easily switched “off” upon exposure to N,N-dimethylformamide. Contrastingly, under the same conditions, benzoic acid anthracen-9-ylmethylene-hydrazide (AB) did not exhibit mechano-responsive luminescent emissions. On the basis of UV–vis, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies, we suggest that mechano-luminescent emissions of AI were triggered by mechanically induced deformations in the lattice, which affected the intermolecular interactions and aromatic stacking behavior. Again, the mechano-luminescent emissions of AI were switched off when mixed with oxalic acid, although accompanied by a concomitant change in color, from yellow-green to red. Single crystal XRD studies provided vital insights into the interactions of AI with oxalic acid, highlighting the role of hydrogen bonding and anion-mediated aromatic-π interactions.

异烟酸蒽-9-基亚甲基
肼(AI)显示出机械响应发光发射;例如,轻轻按压 AI 的弱发光晶体(λem 527 纳米)会产生黄绿色发光物质(λem 540 纳米)。此外,AI 的机械发光在暴露于
N,N-二甲基甲酰胺时很容易被 "关闭"。相反,在相同的条件下,
苯甲酸蒽-9-基亚甲基
肼(AB)没有表现出机械响应发光。根据紫外-可见光、荧光、傅立叶变换红外光谱和粉末 X 射线衍射(XRD)研究,我们认为 AI 的机械发光是由机械引起的晶格变形引发的,这种变形影响了分子间的相互作用和芳香堆积行为。同样,在与
草酸混合时,AI 的机械发光也会被关闭,但同时颜色会从黄绿色变为红色。单晶 XRD 研究为了解 AI 与
草酸的相互作用提供了重要线索,突出了氢键和阴离子介导的芳香-π 相互作用的作用。
