Mechanochemical activation of an indole-fused 2<i>H</i>-benzopyran generates an acidochromic merocyanine dye enabling multicolor chromomorphic materials
Mechanochemical activation of an indole-fused 2 H -1-benzopyran mechanophore generates a yellow-colored merocyanine dye in polymers that is subsequently transformed to a purple-colored dye upon treatment with acid.
