Anomalous Anthracene Arrangement and Rare Excimer Emission in the Solid State: Transcription and Translation of Molecular Information

A novel molecular arrangement of anthracene moieties and the corresponding rare solid-state excimer emission is obtained by utilization of
a ternary system. The system consists of ammonium anthracene disulfonate and adducts, and shows the modulation of the solid-state emission
mode depending on the adducts. The adducts act as molecular information sources that are transcribed to the arrangement, and the arrangement
is translated into the emission mode. This series of processes might be mimicry of central dogma.
