The Rainbow Arching over the Fluorescent Thienoviologen Mesophases.

ABSTRACT: Thermofluorochromic materials exhibit tunable fluorescence emission on heating or cooling. They are highly desirable for applications ranging from temperature sensing to high-security anti-counterfeiting. Luminescent matrices based on liquid crystals are very promising, particularly those based on liquid crystals with intrinsic fluorescence. However, only a few examples have been reported, suggesting ample margins for development in the field, due to the wide range of fluorophores and supramolecular organizations to be explored. Moreover, thermofluorochromic liquid crystals can be tailored with further functionalities to afford multi-stimuli responsive materials. For the first time, herein we report the thermofluorochromism of thienoviologen liquid crystals, already known to show bulk elec
