Abstract: A study describing a new set of compounds that exhibit a unique property among metal complexes in which luminescence can be switched on under gentle grinding of a solid sample is presented. The phenomenon termed, luminescence tribochronism, leads to bright blue or cyan photoemission from the sample.
