other type of light emitting materials, ML functional materials are sensitive to mechanical stimuli and have strong optical response, which have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their potential application in data recording, [2] anti-counterfeiting device, [3] artificial skins, [4] security surveillance, and stress-sensing. [5] Up to date, organometallic ML materials have attracted wide attention in recent years owing to their structural diversity, facile synthesis, lowtoxicity, and low-cost. [6] In spite of the ML phenomena being studied for hundreds of years and tons of ML functional materials being found, [7] the precise relationship between the structure of ML materials and ML effect is still unclear and call for much more exploration, especially about the exact mechanism with quantitative investigation. [6] As an important subclass of ML materials, hybrid manganese-halides, generally templated by manganese with a variety of organic geometries, have drawn wide attention in recent years owing to their structural diversity, high emission efficiency, tunable emission, and other appealing photophysical properties. [8] Recently, Huang's group have reported a series of 0D phosphonium-manganese-based halides complexes with tetrahedrally coordinated environment, [9] which have thrown some light on the origins of ML process of organic-inorganic hybrid metal-halide materials. [10] Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides materials possess attractive virtues of designable optical-electric properties, high charge carrier transport properties, and special defect tolerance ability, making it an excellent candidate in many important optical-electric areas. For instance, organic-inorganic hybrid metal-halide perovskites with a variety of intriguing photophysical properties for the diverse organic components have received increasing interests including solar cells, [11] light-emitting diodes, [12] laser, [13] and detectors. [14] However, the choice of suitable organic molecules for excellent optoelectronic materials is a very tricky issue. [15] Accordingly, there is an urgent requirement to explore diversity cations for functional materials.
Interaction between organic molecule and inorganic frameworks can significantly change the photophysical properties of organic metal-halides hybrid materials.Here, a family of guanidine-based manganese-halides is synthesized via supramolecular interactions modulation by adjusting conjugated degree and the number of hydrogen-bonding donors in the guanidine-based templates cations, which further endows intriguing optoelectrical properties. Single-crystalline mono-gua (gua = (C(NH 2 ) 3
+)) and bigua-functional group (bigua = (C(NH 2 ) 2 NHC(NH 2 ) 2 ) 2+ )-based manganese-halides are prepared and efficient phosphorescence as well as strong mechanoluminescence (ML) are achieved by modulating the hydrogen-bonding interaction and CH⋯π interaction with the manganese-halides. The stronger weak interaction between the metal-halides and organic ligands greatly reduces the...
