Solid-state mechanochemical activation of anthracene–maleimide adducts: the influence of the polymer matrix The repertoire of established mechanophores has been on a steady rise over the last few years, holding the promise of generating materials capable of delivering programmable, beneficial responses…

Anthracene-maleimide mechanophores only light up under stress if in the right kind of polymer!

In (almost) 6 months in our lab at ICIQ, Gabriele Melchiorre delivered this gem—out in @jacs.acspublications.org. Bonus: it is also the perfect excuse for our first-ever Bluesky post! What more could I ask for? That you read it! You won’t be disappointed, I promise! 😉🔬📖
