Abstract

A novel luminophore TPENSOH was facilely synthesized from the building blocks of tetraphenylethylene and 6-hydroxylbenzothiazole and exhibited unique AIE properties. This new dye was found to show a remarkable and reversible four-color switching based on a single molecule in the solid state.
