Inside Cover: Creating Elastic Organic Crystals of π-Conjugated Molecules with Bending Mechanofluorochromism and Flexible Optical Waveguide (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52/2018)
First published: 30 November 2018
Graphical Abstract
Functional organic crystals with elastic flexibility can be applied in high-performance fluorescent waveguides and reversible mechanofluorosensors. In their Communication on page 17002 ff., S. Hayashi, K. Takagi et al. show that a slight modification of the terminal group results in a dramatic change of the optical functions.
