A Tri‐state Fluorescent Switch with “Gated” Solid‐state Photochromism by External Force

In this article, we report a newly designed molecule composed of a dihydroazulene (DHA) group and a phenothiazine (PTZ) moiety, which achieves AIEE, mechanochromism and “gated” solid-state photochromism by external force. Grinding loosens intermolecular interactions in crystal and causes the red shift of fluorescence from 570 nm to 600 nm. Meanwhile,...
