Abstract

A dipeptide molecule synthesized with an anthrancene group in its structure showed force-induced reversible color changes and photochromic switching. The switchable emission colors are due to the different molecular packing modes and the light-induced [4 + 4] photocycloaddition reaction of the molecule.
