We report a multi-stimuli-responsive luminescent material containing rotor moieties. It forms two types of crystals, G and O. The emission of G can be modulated by multiple external stimuli, whereas O does not show such responsiveness. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that the rotors are critical for the polymorphic emission and stimuli response properties.
