Developing dynamic color‐tunable ultra‐long room temperature phosphorescence (URTP) polymers with afterglow of over 1 s, photo‐chromism, and multi‐stimuli response for practical anti‐counterfeiting and information security applications is attractive but very challenging. Herein, by doping multicolor phosphorescence pyridinium bromide L block or viologen‐based photo‐chromic V block into polyvinyl alcohol matrixes, the water‐stimuli‐responsive color‐tunable URTP polymer films with afterglow of up to 8 s and the reversible viologen‐based photochromic polymer films have been developed. More significantly, a series of dynamic color‐tunable URTP polymer films with ultra‐long afterglow of over 6 s, photo‐chromism, and water‐stimuli response have been successfully exploited by integrating L and V blocks into one polymer system. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that their photo‐chromism mainly comes from the photo‐generated viologen free radicals. Furthermore, their dynamic multilevel anti‐counterfeiting applications have been demonstrated. These results pave the way to develop smarter multifunctional URTP materials for anti‐counterfeiting and optical sensing.

Organic luminogens (OLs) that emit strong fluorescence in both solution and the aggregated state, referred to as dual-state emission luminogens (DSEgens), are highly desirable because of their capability to achieve multiple functions within onefold materials. The fluorescence of OLs, including DSEgens, with intramolecular charge transfer characteristics, often decreases in solution as the solvent polarity increases, namely the positive solvatokinetic effect, resulting in inferior environmental stability. In this work, fluorination to naphthalimide (NI)–cyanostilbene (CS) derivatives was adopted to construct novel DSEgens (NICSF-X, X = B, P, M, and T, respectively). Steady-state and transient spectroscopies were utilized to study their photophysical properties, evidencing their DSE properties with fluorescence quantum yields (φ) ∼0.2–0.4 in solution and ∼0.5–0.9 as solids. In particular, strong fluorescence emission in highly polar solvents i.e., φ up to ∼0.4–0.5 in ethanol, was sustained for NICSF-Xs, possibly assisted by hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) formation. Theoretical calculations and single-crystal structure analysis rationalized the intense photoluminescence (PL) emission of NICSF-Xs in the solid state. In addition, NICSF-Xs showed two-photon absorption (2PA) behaviors in dual states and were successfully applied for HepG2 cell imaging with one-photon and 2PA excitation, with lipid droplet targeting. Our study suggests that functionalization of molecules by fluorination to introduce H-bonding is a promising strategy to enhance the environmental stability of fluorescence in solution and realize strong PL emission in highly polar solvents, which could be favorable for bioimaging.
