Multi-stimuli responsive fluorescent materials have vast applications in the field of chemistry, physics and material science. Among the multifunctional materials, ESIPT-active materials have drawn prodigious attraction in recent years due to their large Stokes shifted emission and dual emissive behavior. Herein, we report a novel "all-in-one"type fluorescent 7-diethylamino-4-hydroxycoumarin-rhodamine B conjugate (DHCRH) which shows aggregation induced emission, acidochromism, and mechanochromic luminescent features along with unique methanol responsiveness. An information protection application was executed via a write-erase-write fluorescent platform using the acidochromic feature of DHCRH. Furthermore, the DHCRH-Zn ensemble was found to exhibit reversible photochromic behavior from a yellow to pink color in the solution state upon irradiation with 365 nm UV light through an intramolecular ring opening and closing mechanism. The complex provided a long lifetime for the ring-opened form and good fatigue resistance for reversible photochromism.
