Systematic investigation of rotaxane structures has revealed a rational design for thermally driven switching of their macroscopic properties. At low temperature, the luminophore is insulated by the macrocycles and displays monomer emission, whereas at high temperature, the luminophore is exposed owing to a change in the macrocyclic location distribution and interacts with external molecules, affording a thermally driven luminescent color change with high reversibility and responsiveness. This macroscopic switching through efficient thermal sliding was made possible by appropriate tuning of both the macrocycle-luminophore interactions within the rotaxane and the coupling between the excited luminophore and external molecules in an exciplex. The ability to switch properties by a simple and clean thermal stimuli should expand the utilization of rotaxanes as components of thermally driven molecular systems.
