The formation of coordination polymer nanoparticles by a copper(I) coordination compound containing cubane‐like clusters as nodes connected by hybrid thioether‐phosphine ligands has been achieved in aqueous media. The formed particles display a yellow aggregation‐induced emission. The change in the environment triggers a morphological transformation towards elongated aggregates due to changes in the coordination environment, opening the cubane units and causing a cyan emission.
