A flexible viologen carboxylic acid derivative forms single‐ and triple‐stranded helices by hydrogen‐bonding interactions, and undergoes pH‐triggered helical transformation by a water‐mediated solid‐state conversion (see picture). This transformation is accompanied by a fluorescence signal change that can be directly observed by the naked eye under a UV lamp.
