Abstract

Luminescent crystalline materials that are sensitive to volatile organic solvents are useful for detection of harmful gases. Although such compounds have been reported, discrimination of various types of volatile organic compounds using one compound remains challenging. Here, it is described that introduction of a biphenyl unit into a gold isocyanide scaffold (denoted complex 3) enables discrimination of various volatile organic compounds by forming 11 solvent-containing crystal structures 3/solvent with different emission properties (emission maxima of 490–580 nm). Mechanical stimulation of 3/solvent affords amorphous 3ground without solvent inclusion. The resulting 3ground can again detect volatile compounds by forming 3/solvent with concomitant emission color changes. A dozen single crystals of 3, which include 11 solvated 3/solvent and one solvent-free 3/none, also are represented. Comparison of various crystallographic parameters of 3/solvent and 3/none with their corresponding optical properties indicates that a combination of various structural properties of 3 affects the optical properties of 3. This study reveals that the introduction of a biphenyl moiety could be a useful design to develop versatile indicators for solvents through the formation of multiple luminescent crystal structure.
