Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The fluorophore‐spacer₁‐receptor₁‐spacer₂‐receptor₂ system (where receptor₂ alone is photoredox‐inactive) shows ionically tunable proton‐induced fluorescence off‐on switching, which is reminiscent of thermionic triode behavior. This also represents a new extension to modular switch systems based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) towards the emulation of analogue electronic devices.</p> </abstract>
