a The reported strategies for photocontrollable luminescence, and pyrene-modified merocyanine-based photoswitch with wide range of photochromic fluorescence by controlling ICT and self-assembly effect in this work. (ICT: intramolecular charge transfer, PET: photoinduced electron transfer, FRET: Förster resonance energy transfer) b, c UV-Vis, and fluorescence spectra of photoswitch (0.1 mM) in strong-ICT-Self-assembly (PMC) and weak-ICT-monomer (PSP) state in CHCl3. Inserts are image of PMC (I) and PSP (II) in natural light and PMC (III) and PSP (IV) in UV light.
