Siwei Liu and Jiarui Xu* 3 4 : 1 0 : Received 16th January 2012 7 0 3 DOI: 10.1039/c2cs35016e 1 0 2 / 0 1 Mechanofluorochromic materials, which are dependent on changes in physical molecular packing / 9 2 n modes, have attracted considerable interest over the past ten years. In this review, recent progress o y in the area of pure organic mechanofluorochromism is summarized, and majority of the reported t i s r organic mechanofluorochromic systems are discussed, along with their derived structure–property e v i relationships. The existence of a structural relationship between aggregation-induced emission n U n compounds and mechanofluorochromism is recognized based on our recent results, which e m considered aggregation-induced emission compounds as a well of mechanofluorochromic a i X materials. The established structure–property relationship will guide researchers in identifying y b d and synthesizing more mechanofluorochromic materials. e d a o l n w 1.
