“…It is also noted that 1a , heated 1a , reverted 1a , p-1a , and heated p-1a all show two absorption band maxima at about 1115 and 1057 cm −1 , 19,62 respectively, which are attributable to the Cl–O stretching vibrations of ClO 4 − and the Cl–O bond nonequivalence induced by NH bpmtzH ⋯OClO 3 − hydrogen bonds. Only one Cl–O stretching vibration absorption occurs at 1101 cm −1 for ground 1a , 19,47,63 which is due to the Cl–O bond equivalence caused by the breaking of NH bpmtzH ⋯OClO 3 − hydrogen bonds, implying that luminescence mechanochromism originates from the breaking of NH bpmtzH ⋯OClO 3 − hydrogen bonds. Moreover, luminescence vapochromism and mechanochromism are related to NH dppa ⋯O solvent and NH bpmtzH ⋯OClO 3 − hydrogen bonds, respectively, which are also supported by changes in the shape and wavenumber of the N–H bending vibration absorptions ( δ N–H , 1530–1600 cm −1 ) 64–66 and the wavenumber and strength of the N–H stretching vibration absorptions ( υ N–H , 3105–3280 cm −1 ) 67–69 of 1a (Fig.…”
