An electroswitching device that enables modulation of both emission and coloration was obtained by combining luminesncent/electrochromic (EC) molecules of afluoran molecule(Yellow-1) and1,4-benzoquinone(BQ). Electroswitching of emission and coloration was achieved by the reversible electrochemically induced closing and opening of the lactone ring inYellow-1. Neutral Yellow-1was colorless and did not exhibit any fluorescence, whileoxidized Yellow-1 (lactone ring-opened form)was yellow and displayed green fluorescence because of its extended, planar, and conjugated system. In order to achieve quick response time and high reversibility of the electroswitching optical device for modulating both emission and coloration, aBQmolecule was introduced as a bifunctional material. The inclusion of a redox-active moiety on the auxiliary electrode maintained the charge balance and acted as an EC molecule (transparent/yellow in neutral/reduced state, respectively).BQacted as a bifunctional molecule, leading to quick and stable switching of both emission and coloration.
