A novel donor–acceptor–donor triad that exhibits fluorescence on–off switching with high contrast ratio (ca. 103) in response to a mechanical stimulus the solid state is reported. This system provides very unique example of high-contrast driven by mechanical-force-controlled photo-induced electron transfer (eT) molecular assemblies.
