| π-Conjugated organic platforms are effective conduits for charge and energy carriers. One-dimensional “molecular wires” have found numerous applications in optoelectronics and sensing. Two-dimensional “molecular boxes” should further benefit from the additional dimensionality of the electronic structures that can delocalize electrons and excitons over a larger space. Design and predictable manipulation of such two-dimensional π-extended structures, however, present formidable synthetic challenge. In this presentation, we will disclose our strategies to use mutually reinforcing multiple hydrogen bonds to control the emission properties of π-extended chemical structures. Technological implications of the controllable interconversion between two stable states associated with such mechanically coupled structures will also be discussed.
