In this study, we demonstrated the construction of a composite system with turn-on mechanofluorochromism by incorporating aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials within metal-organic framework (MOF) single crystals. The unique fluorochromism mainly originated from the enhanced nanoconfinement effect exerted by the MOF host on the AIE guest under pressure. This innovative design strategy offers new possibilities for the fabrication of efficient mechanofluorochromic materials.
Mechanofluorochromic materials are of great significance for the fabrication of innovative sensors and optoelectronics. However, efficient mechanofluorochromic materials are rarely explored due to the deficiency of existing design strategies. Here, we demonstrate the incarceration of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials within metal-organic framework (MOF) single crystals to construct a composite system with turn-on mechanofluorochromism. A new type of AIE@MOF material was designed: integrating a zeolitic MOF (ZIF-71) and tetraphenylethylene (TPE, a topical AIE material) to generate a TPE@ZIF-71 system with exceptional turn-on type mechanofluorochromism. Using terahertz vibrational spectroscopy, we show the unique fluorochromism mainly emanates from the enhanced nanoconfinement effect exerted by ZIF-71 host on TPE guest under pressure. Compared with pure TPE, we demonstrate the nanoconfinement in AIE@MOF not only changes the TPE's turn-off type sensing behavior to a turn-on type, but boosts the original sensitivity markedly by tenfold. Significantly, because ZIF-71 prevents the spontaneous recrystallization of TPE upon unloading, this allows TPE@ZIF-71 to record the stress history. This is the first demonstration of the Guest@MOF system combining the concepts of AIE and MOF; its promising properties and potential engineering applications will stimulate new directions pertaining to luminescent stress sensors and smart optics.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
