title: Controlling mechano- and seeding-triggered single-crystal-to-single-crystal phase transition: molecular domino with a disconnection of aurophilic bonds.
abstract: Green and blue polymorphs: A single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) phase transition of phenyl(3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanide)gold(I) was triggered by mechanical picking or solid seeding and propagated spontaneously with a domino-like mechanism. As a result, one phase with intense green emission was transformed to another phase with weaker blue emission.
