Zero-dimension (0D) organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides are highly attractive as smart responsive luminescent materials, but the multiple-mode luminescence switch is rarely achieved and intrinsic solvochromism mechanism is unclear. Herein, we report a yellowish-green-emitting (MeBzN)SbCl (MeBzN: trimethylbenzyl ammonium) single crystal, revealing quadruple/triple-mode luminescence switch with rapid response time (<1 s) and excellent recyclability (≥ 100 cycles) when triggered by moderately-polar and strongly-polar solvents. Significantly, the intrinsic solvochromism mechanism is systematically proposed, of which the reversibly multiple-mode luminescence tuning is closely related to solvent polarity, the moderate polarity can lead to luminescence redshift from 560 to 670 nm due to the increase of dipole moment for inorganic polyhedron. Besides, the small molecular solvent with strong polarity can insert into crystal and form "host-guest" system, inducing single crystal-single crystal phase transformation with structural disorder and Sb-Sb distance variation. Owing to the unique multiple-mode luminescence adjustment performance, (MeBzN)SbCl displays potential candidate in solvent detection, safety monitoring and information encryption scenarios. These findings highlight the significance of solvent polarity and molecule volume on the dynamic luminescence adjustment and offer guidance for the development of new smart responsive 0D hybrid antimony halides in advanced optical switchable fields.

Self-assembly is regarded as a facile method to fabricate luminescent nanomaterials with aggregation induced emission (AIE) properties for optical sensor design. In this work, a pH-controlled self-ratiometric sensing platform utilizing aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active Au(I)-TCEP-Cd(II) nanoaggregates was developed for highly reliable D-penicillamine (DPA) detection. Through stoichiometric coordination with Cd, oligomeric Au(I)-tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) complexes could self-assemble into snowflake-like nanoaggregates (∼100 nm) with strong yellow emission (540 nm) and excellent aqueous stability.

All inorganic lead halide perovskite (CsPbX) has become a hot topic in chiral optics for its high quantum yield and tunable luminescence. The environmental degradation tendency and lack of magneto-optical coupling mechanism of lead-based perovskite severely restrict its chirality integrated application. Rare-earth ions (such as Gd, Eu), with their unique 4f electronic configuration, not only passivate the lattice defects to improve stability but also expand the spectral response range through electronic localization effects.

In the liquid phase, the synergistic coupling between excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) facilitates nonradiative decay through a conical intersection (CI) channel, leading to the quenching of Keto* fluorescence. Conversely, in the solid phase, restricted molecular rotation blocks the CI channel and promotes barrierless ESIPT, yielding strong Keto* emission in the near-infrared (NIR) region.

In this study, we report the design and synthesis of two luminescent polypyridyl iridium(III) complexes, [Ir(C^N)(N^N)]Cl (Ir1 and Ir2), for the simultaneous detection of Al⁺ and F ions. In these complexes, C^N represents a cyclometalated 2-phenylbenzimidazole (Ph-benz) ligand, while N^N corresponds to 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives, specifically, 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid in Ir1 and diethyl[2,2'-bipyridine]-4,4'-dicarboxylate in Ir2. The interaction of the ─NH group of Ph-benz and the ─COOH group of the bipyridine ligand with F and Al⁺ ion induces distinct photoluminescence changes, enabling selective and sensitive detection of both analytes.

Solid-state room-temperature phosphorescence is rarely observed in organic molecules, and the modification of its color upon application of physical or chemical stimuli is hardly achieved. In this work, we demonstrate that a decorated persulfurated benzene shows reversible phosphorescence switching in the solid state, as a consequence of conformational changes induced by inclusion of solvent molecules. Quantum-chemical calculations suggest that the luminescence changes are due to emission from triplet states of different character.
