Mechanofluorochromic properties of β-iminoenolate boron complexes tuned by the electronic effects of terminal phenothiazine and phenothiazine-S,S-dioxide

Abstract

β-Iminoenolate boron complexes bearing phenothiazine exhibited high-contrast mechanofluorochromic behavior compared with that containing a phenothiazine-<italic>S</italic>,<italic>S</italic>-dioxide unit.
