Novel redox-fluorescence switch based on a triad containing tetrathiafulvalene and pyrene units with tunable monomer and excimer emissions

Abstract

The ratio of monomer and excimer emissions of a triad 1 with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and pyrene units could be reversibly modulated by the different oxidation states of the TTF unit. The working mechanism of this new fluorescence switch was demonstrated to be the collective result of the tunable photoinduced electron transfer and resonance energy transfer processes.
