pH- and H2O-driven triple-mode pyrene fluorescence.
[reaction: see text] A simple-structured molecule L1, a diethylenetriamine bearing two end pyrene fragments, demonstrates triple-mode fluorescence consisting of monomer and short- and long-lived excimer emissions in water, which are precisely controlled by pH and an addition of a less-polar organic solvent.
