Effects of cyano groups on the properties of thiazole-based β-ketoiminate boron complexes: aggregation-induced emission and mechanofluorochromism

Abstract

The triphenylamine-functionalized thiazole-based β-ketoiminate boron complex<bold>BF2-TT-CN</bold>exhibited strong cyano-dependent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and mechanofluorochromic (MFC) properties.
