Abstract

Abstract : A fluorescence molecular switch of SPTPE is prepared, which can be reversibly switched between blue, cyan, red and dark with external stimuli. Abstract : By integrating an AIE active tetraphenylethylene (TPE) with a molecular switch of spiropyran (SP) through a single bond linkage, a single molecular switch with four high contrast states of red, cyan, blue and dark has been achieved by synergistic control of the molecular structures and their packing modes in the solid state.
