A [2.2]paracyclophane-bridged bimetallic alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridyl complex displays severe emission quenching due to the presence of intramolecular π-π interactions. It undergoes an adaptive conformational change upon recognizing Ag+, which attenuates the intramolecular stacking strength and thereby exhibits "turn-on" emission character.
