Isomerism, aggregation-induced emission and mechanochromism of isocyanide cycloplatinated(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes

Abstract

Neutral cyclometalated Pt(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes incorporating chloride or alkynyl/isocyanide show geometrical isomerism and the ppy-based derivatives combine aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and mechanochromic luminescence (MCL).
