Since the discovery of aggregation induced emission (AIE) phenomenon, various stimuli-responsive materials have been rapidly developed, but there are still great challenges in the application of ink printing due to the bad water solubility. In this research, a new cationic amphiphilic TPE-functionalized pyridine salt (TPE-OTs) was designed, which shows good water solubility and hydrochromic properties. The optical properties of the compound have been studied, which is equipped with the typical AIEE characteristics and TICT effect. The compound can self-assemble to form aggregates with a particle size of about 30 nm in water. What is more, the compound is responsive to the environmental humidity, whose fluorescent color changes from green to yellow as the humidity gradually increased. Based on this characteristic, we applied it to the fluorescent anti-counterfeiting ink, realizing the protection and encryption of information.
