title: Mechanochromic luminescent property of a polypeptide-based dendron.
abstract: We report herein the mechanochromic luminescent property of a dendritic polypeptide with a fluorescent aromatic moiety at the focal point. The different luminescent property of 1 under mechanical stimulus is attributed to the switch of self-assembled structures. Moreover, the photoluminescence property of 1 also depends on the thermal history.
