Description
  • Abstract en Ferroelasticity has been reported for several types of molecular crystals, which show mechanical-stress-induced shape change under twinning and/or spontaneous formation of strain. Aiming to create materials that exhibit both ferroelasticity and light-emission characteristics, we discovered the first examples of ferroelastic luminescent organometallic crystals. Crystals of arylgold(I)(N-heterocyclic carbene)(NHC) complexes bend upon exposure to anisotropic mechanical stress. X-ray diffraction analyses and stress-strain measurements on these ferroelastic crystals confirmed typical ferroelastic behavior, mechanical twinning, and the spontaneous build-up of strain. A comparison with single-crystal structures of related gold-NHC complexes that do not show ferroelasticity shed light on the structural origins of the ferroelastic behavior.
