Visualizing B–N Bond Breaking in Silicone Elastomer Networks through Turn-On Mechanochromic Luminescence

Abstract Mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) plays important roles in sensors, encryption, as impact indicators, and in real-time stress mapping. Boron–nitrogen Lewis pairs (LPs) are promising as mechanophores because both the interaction energy and the luminescence color can be re...
