New dimesitylborylthiophene derivative with terminal tetraphenylethene TPETB has been synthesized. It was found that TPETB exhibited aggregation-induced emission behavior and reversible mechanofluorochromism. For instance, the emission intensity of TPETB in THF/H2O with water fraction of 90% was ca. 21 times higher than that in THF. In addition, grinding the as-prepared crystal of TPETB the emitting color changed from sky blue to yellowish green. Meanwhile, the ground powder could recover to crystalline structure with sky blue emission when it was exposed to CH2Cl2 vapor. It was suggested that the transformation between crystalline and amorphous states led to the changes of solid emitting colors in response to external mechanical forces. It should be noted that TPETB could detect F− selectively, and the detection limit was 1.67×10−8mol/L in CH2Cl2.
