Summary:Pyridyl-substituted triarylmethyl radicals exhibited cation-responsive turn-on fluorescence when additional pyridyl rings were incorporated at an appropriate position; the mechanism of fluorescence enhancement is examined. Reduced quenching by internal and external heavy atom effects is proposed as a unique property of fluorescent radicals, which can be utilized in different environments to conventional closed-shell fluorescent molecules. Pyridyl-substituted triarylmethyl radicals showed cation-responsive turn-on fluorescence and did not suffer from quenching by internal and external heavy atom effects.
