New D-A type cruciform luminophoreTFMB-CBCEBbearing electron-donor carbazole unit and electron-acceptor dicyanovinylbenzene segment was designed and prepared. The results show that the emission wavelengths ofTFMB-CBCEBare strongly affected by solvent polarity, indicating intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) transitions. Interestingly,TFMB-CBCEBexhibits AIE behavior with high αAIEof 405 and high solid-state luminescence efficiency of up to 0.810. Moreover,TFMB-CBCEBshows remarkable mechanofluorochromic (MFC) properties. When the as-prepared samples are subjected to grinding, the emission ofTFMB-CBCEBred-shifts by 32 nm from the blue regions (λmax= 566 nm) to the orange regions (λmax= 598 nm). The changes of fluorescence emission induced by grinding can be restored by solvent-fuming and regenerated by grinding, suggesting excellent reversibility in the switching processes. PXRD analysis revealed that the MFC mechanism ofTFMB-CBCEBattributed to the crystalline-amorphous phase transformation between the original and ground states. Meanwhile, the red-shift in the PL spectra upon grinding comes from the extension in molecular conjugation caused by planarization of molecular conformation and subsequent planar intramolecular charge transfer (PICT) process.
