A molecular switch with pH-controlled absolutely switchable dual-mode fluorescence.
[reaction: see text] A simple-structured molecule (L1) bearing anthracene fragments at both ends of diethylenetriamine chain behaves as a fluorescent molecular switch with pH-controlled absolutely switchable dual-mode fluorescence in water; each mode consists of monomer (pH <9) and excimer (pH >9) emissions.
