Combined Experimental and Theoretical Studies on the Rubbing-Induced Fluorescence Behavior of a Luminophore in the Solid State.

ABSTRACT: It is intricate to break and make chemical bonds in solid states compared to their solution states, so it is imperative to ascertain green proficient approaches by regulating the solid-state structures and their related material properties. Here, the rubbing-induced photoluminescence behavior of a luminophore (RIL) of the benzimidazole family in the solid state has been accomplished. Interestingly, upon gentle rubbing or mere scratching, solid-state fluorescence from the nonemissive pristine RIL was observed due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon in the solid state, for which the phenolic moiety is present in the molecule and is accountable. The structure-property relationship of RIL and the mechanism responsible for this solid-state fluorescence characteristics have been
