Polymorphism and Reversible Mechanochromic Luminescence for Solid-State Difluoroboron Avobenzone

Zhang, Guoqing, Lu, Jiwei, Sabat, Michal, Fraser, Cassandra L.·2010·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Difluoroboron avobenzone (BF(2)AVB), a simple boron complex of a commercial sunscreen product, exhibits morphology-dependent emission and mechanochromic luminescence in the solid state. When scratched, smeared, or even gently touched, the emission color of BF(2)AVB films is significantly red-shifted under UV excitation. In the rubbed regions, the fluorescence recovers slowly at room temperature or much faster with heating, resulting in a simple rewritable "scratch the surface" ink of potential commercial use.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
