Thermally-activated chemiluminescent squaraine rotaxane endoperoxide with green emission.
A squaraine rotaxane endoperoxide with a truncated squaraine chromophore undergoes a cycloreversion reaction and emits green light that can be transferred to red acceptor dyes. The results demonstrate that chemiluminescence emission for squaraine rotaxane endoperoxides comes from the excited squaraine inside the rotaxane.
