  • Descrição: Mechanochromic luminescent materials have attracted much attention and present a variety of applications in information security, data recording, and storage devices. However, most of these smart luminescent systems are based on typical fluorescence and/or phosphorescence mechanisms; the mechanochromic delayed fluorescence (MCDF) materials involving switching singlet and triplet states are rarely studied to date. Herein, new 2D layered metal–organic micro/nanosheets, [Cd(9‐AC)2(BIM)2] (named as MCDF‐1; 9‐AC = anthracene‐9‐carboxylate and BIM = benzimidazole) and its solvate form containing interlayer CH3CN (named as MCDF‐2), which exhibit reversible mechanochromic delayed fluorescence characteristics, are presented. With applying the mechanical force, the luminescent center of MCDF‐1 can be converted from 9‐AC/BIM exciplex to 9‐AC/9‐AC excimer, resulting in alternations of delayed fluorescence. Such luminescent change can be further recovered by CH3CN fumigation, accompanied by the structural transformation from MCDF‐1 to MCDF‐2. Furthermore, the force‐responsive process also refers to the energy redistribution between singlet and triplet states as inferred by both temperature‐dependent photophysics and theoretical calculations. Therefore, this work not only develops new 2D micro/nanosheets as MCDF materials, but also supplies a singlet–triplet energy switching mechanism on their reversible mechanochromic process. 2D metal–organic micro/nanosheets ([Cd(9‐AC)2(BIM)2], 9‐AC = anthracene‐9‐carboxylate and BIM = benzimidazole) exhibit mechanochromic delayed fluorescence characteristics. Upon applying the mechanical force, the luminescent center is converted from 9‐AC/BIM exciplex to 9‐AC/9‐AC excimer. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the force‐responsive process also refers to the energy redistribution between singlet and triplet states by temperature‐dependent photophysical experiments and theoretical calculations.
