Abstract
AbstractOrganic luminescent solid materials have attracted much attention due to practical applications such as sensor materials and optical waveguides. We have previously reported that inverse type diarylethenes exhibit strong emission in crystal without causing aggregation‐caused quenching. However, the emission color was limited to mainly green. To tune the emission color, in this work, we newly synthesized inverse type diarylethenes having a shortened π‐conjugation length or a polar substituent and investigated their fluorescence properties in solutions and crystals. The crystals exhibited various emission colors from blue, green, yellow to red depending on the molecular structure. The emission color changes of the crystals were induced by the intermolecular interactions such as CH‐π interactions in addition to the shortened π‐conjugation length and the intramolecular charge transfer character.
