The development of organic fluorescence materials is of great interest for both fundamental research and practical applications. The modification or alteration of molecular chemical structures is the most-common approach for controlling fluorescence properties. However, there are a limited number of effective materials for the dynamic control of solid-state fluorescence with high efficiency and reversibility, because most chemical reactions in the solid state involve insufficient conversion and irreversible reactions, or result in the loss of fluorescence capability.[1] To overcome this problem, a very attractive approach is proposed which dynamically controls solid fluorescence properties by altering the mode of solid-state molecular stacking without changing the chemical structure of the constituting molecules. Found recently, piezofluorochromism is a change in the fluorescence color induced by mechanical stress, accompanied with a reversion to the original fluorescent color by heating, recrystallization, or exposure to solvent vapor. Many piezochromic materials have been reported based on the change in absorption characteristics under pressure.[2] Fluorescence can be detected with high sensitivity, thus enabling materials with piezofluorochromism to have a wide variety of applications in optical recording and strain-or pressure-sensing systems. However, organic piezofluorochromic materials are exceedingly rare.[3]Recently, many aggregation-induced emission (AIE) compounds with various chemical structures have been synthesized in our laboratory, and it is very interesting to find that almost all of these compounds are piezofluorochromic materials. We would thus suggest calling these compounds piezofluorochromic aggregation-induced emission (PAIE) materials as they possess both piezofluorochromic and aggregation-induced emission properties. Aggregation-induced emission materials, first reported by Tang and co-workers,[4] are one of an important class of luminescent materials and exhibit many special properties, such as strong solid emission, excellent device performance, and highly stimuli-sensitive fluorescence.[5] PAIE materials have the advantages of both piezofluorochromic materials and aggregation-induced emission materials and can be more-widely used. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been only one compound (DBDCS, Scheme 1c) that has both piezofluorochro-
