The invention relates to a binuclear monovalent gold complex with an aggregation-induced emission property and a force-induced discoloration property and containing a bispyridine group and applicationof the binuclear monovalent gold complex. The binuclear monovalent gold complex with the aggregation-induced emission property and the force-induced discoloration property and containing the bispyridine group has the structure as shown in formula I. The metal complex shows aggregation-induced emission effect from colorless to yellow, after being mechanically ground, the solid sample of the metalcomplex can become bright yellow from green after photoluminescence is carried out, and after the ground solid sample is subjected to steam treatment through a dichloromethane, yellow light can be recovered into green light again. Therefore, the gold-containing complex is expected to be applied in the field of luminous materials, mechanical sensors and the like.
