Abstract

A chameleon under pressure: The observed piezochromic behavior of the title compound (BP2VA) was found to depend on its molecular aggregation state and specifically on the strength of the π-π interaction between the anthracene rings of adjacent molecules. When BP2VA is ground or placed under pressure, its molecular aggregation state changes, and a red shift in the fluorescence emission from green via orange to red occurs (see picture).
