π-Conjugated azobenzene derivatives were reported to couple azo moieties with aryl fluorophore. Using the photochemistry of the C2-bridged azobenzene, we have accomplished two diazocine-based photoswitching molecules (cAz1andcAz2). In addition to remarkable photochromic properties, they show a turn-on fluorescence, and the emission was highly enhanced with quantum efficiency increasing up to 0.22 forcAz1. The emission remains persistent and can only be switched off via thermal deactivation. They display greater optical responses, compared with the linear analogues (Az1–Az4). This work may provide a new scaffold toward advanced light-emitting materials using photoswitchable systems.
