Abstract

An air-stable photoresponsive viologen molecular system is constructed based on a three-fold accordion interpenetrating packing arrangement. The fluorescent modulation process is coupled with a photochromic reaction via energy and electron transfer between the adjacent donor and acceptor groups.
