The title compound (BMBZA) was designed and synthesized as a novel fluorescent amorphous molecular material. BMBZA was found to exhibit solvatofluorochromism and to readily form an amorphous glass by cooling the melt on standing. In addition, the morphological change from crystalline state to amorphous one could be induced by mechanical grinding. Although fluorescence was scarcely observed for the crystalline sample of BMBZA, the grinding the sample was found to enhance the fluorescence emission, that is, BMBZA exhibited on-off type mechanofluorochromism.
