Photoluminescent metallopolymers displaying photo-stimuli-responsive properties are emerging as promising materials with versatile applications in photo-rewritable patterns, wearable UV sensors, and optical encryption anti-counterfeiting. However, integrating these materials into practical applications that require fast response times, lightweight qualities, fatigue resistance, and multiple encryption capabilities poses challenges. In this study, luminescent photochromic lanthanide (Ln) metallopolymers with rapid self-healing properties are developed by cross-linking terpyridine (Tpy)- and spiropyran (SP)- functionalized polyurethane chains through Ln-Tpy coordination bonds and H-bonds among polymer chains. The resulting products exhibit a range of intriguing features: i) photo-stimuli responsiveness using spiropyran monomers without additional dopants; ii) dual-emitting performance under UV-light due to Ln-Tpy and open-ring spiropyran moieties; iii) satisfactory mechanical properties and self-healing abilities from polymer chains; iv) multiple control switches for luminescence colors through photostimulation or feed ratio adjustments. Leveraging these attributes, the developed material introduces novel opportunities for light-writing applications, advanced information encryption, UV-sensing wearable devices, and insights into designing multifunctional intelligent materials for the future.
