Two highly soluble donor‐σ‐acceptor and donor‐σ‐accepter‐σ‐donor type fluorescence switches consisting tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and 3,4,9,10‐perylene tetracarboxylic diimides (PDI) were synthesized. The structure of the dyad and triad as well as their intermediates was characterized by ^1^H NMR, ^13^C NMR MS, elemental analysis. Their fluorescence behavior could be modulated by oxidization and reduction of the TTF unit using either chemical or electrochemical method. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2009).
