Macrocycle-based supramolecular assembly: An alternative strategy for visualizing the mechanism of piezochromic luminescence

“…Macrocycles present an exciting opportunity to leverage reversible, highly selective, and chemically responsive interactions between the host cavity and guest molecules. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] When integrated into gel systems, they offer unique advantages that cannot be attained with other gel-forming materials. Within these gels, macrocycles can assume various roles.…”
