title: Reversible piezochromic behavior of two new cationic iridium(III) complexes.
abstract: We demonstrate that two new cationic Ir(III) complexes exhibit an interesting piezochromism, and their emission color can be smartly switched by grinding and heating. This is the first example that the Ir(III) complexes display piezochromic phosphorescence.
