The authors report a new type of stimuli-responsive luminescent liquid crystal that exhibits three luminescent colors, which can be switched by mech. and thermal stimuli. The liquid crystal is composed of equimolar amounts of the dumbbell-shaped compound I and compound II. The three luminescent colors observed are reddish-orange, yellow, and green, which are easily distinguished by the naked eye. Moreover, the liquid crystal mixture of I and II contains only one type of luminophor, 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene and no additives are required to induce the luminescent color changes. The present results reveal that materials containing only a single luminophor component can switch between three different luminescent colors in the condensed state depending upon the molecularly assembled structures. Moreover, these luminescent images are capable of being written and erased. If a single luminophor component is sufficient to achieve a multiluminescent color device, it can lead to cost reduction in the production of multicolor luminescent displays and sophisticated stimuli-responsive luminescent materials. The authors results also imply that the switching of assembled structures of luminescent groups is one of the most promising ways to obtain external-stimuli-responsive luminescent materials, which adds to the conventional approaches of inducing change to the mol. structures itself by light, pH, redox, and mech. stimuli.
