Abstract

Abstract : Tribo‐excitation in a crystalline compound is an interesting phenomenon in which a mechanical stimulus drives the compound to its excited state. We demonstrate a tribo‐excited chemical reaction using trivalent europium (Eu III ) and gadolinium (Gd III ) complexes with stacked anthracene ligands for the development of tribo‐excitation chemistry. The tribo‐oxidation and ‐dimerization reactions in the stacked anthracene ligands occur in the Eu III and Gd III complexes, respectively. More information can be found in the Research Article by Y. Kitagawa, Y. Hasegawa et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202104401 ).
