Abstract

Herein, we report a stimulus-responsive supercooled π-conjugated liquid and the possibility of its application in rewritable media. Supercooled liquid 1 showed a dramatic change in its photoluminescent color upon the transformation from liquid 1l (yellow emission) to solid 1s (green emission). These phenomena were revealed by fluorescence spectra as well as lifetime decay profiles.
