A simple and robust reversible redox-fluorescence molecular switch based on a 1,4-disubstituted azine with ferrocene and pyrene units.
Taking advantage of the properties of the ferrocene as a redox and electron donor active unit and the pyrene as a fluorescent unit, dyad 2 shows a fast and reversible redox-switchable fluorescence emission.
