Mechanochromic Luminescence in Copper Nanoclusters: Resolving Structural Transitions through Microcrystal Electron Diffraction

Chem. Commun., 2025, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5CC02594J, Communication Harshita Nagar, Subrata Duary, Vivek Yadav, Amoghavarsha Ramachandra Kini, Sudhadevi Antharjanam, Tomas Base, Anirban Som, Brent Lane Nannenga, T. Pradeep MicroED reveals insights into mechanochromic luminescence in copper nanoclusters, demonstrating structural transitions from crystalline to amorphous state upon grinding, with restoration of crystallinity following solvent exposure. Luminescence switching occurs due...
