Three donor–acceptor (D–A)-containing cruciform luminophores, namedDHCS-BC,DMCS-BC, andDTCS-BC, with twisted molecular conformation have been synthesized. The D–A-type cross-conjugated compounds showed unique intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties. Interestingly, they showed substituent-dependent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and mechanofluorochromic (MFC) behavior. The three cruciforms possessed evident AIE nature with the AIE factors of 9, 19, and >492 and high solid-state fluorescence quantum yields of 0.332, 0.425, and 0.492, respectively. Moreover, their AIE activities increased in the orderDHCS-BC<DMCS-BC<DTCS-BC, which was consistent with the torsional degree of molecular spatial conformations induced by the steric hindrance between carbazole and substituted cyanostyryl and the ICT degrees of the three compounds. The solid emission studies illustrated that their fluorescence color could change reversibly between bright blue-green (485 nm), bright blue-green (479 nm), bright yellow (526 nm) and light yellow-green (524 nm), yellow-green (534 nm), orange-red (606 nm) through grinding and dichloromethane (DCM) fuming treatment, giving the large spectral red-shifts of 39, 55, and 80 nm, respectively. The MFC activities of the three compounds are increased with the sequence ofDHCS-BC<DMCS-BC<DTCS-BC, which was the result of the planarization of the molecular conformation and subsequent planar intramolecular charge transfer (PICT) under the external force stimuli.
